You did a wonderful job on this! Last fall I also purchased the quick curve ruler and this very pattern. I have always loved winding ways but I don't have a die cutter to cut the shapes and the thought of tracing it all out and cutting by hand just didn't get me motivated enough.
I read through the instructions and you are right, looks like a bit of a learning curve for the first few blocks. Yours turned out so nice, from your color choices to the end product. Thanks so much for sharing.
