I bought the pattern and the fabric several months ago. I've cleared the deck of my other in-process quilts and plan to start in 2 weeks. There was no BOM when I purchased my materials (I was hoping there was, but alas). Yes, there are a million pieces, and it would have been easier paper pieced, bit it is what it is. And I am so anxious to start, glad to see there is at least one quilt buddy I can talk with. Go Team. BTY, yours are awesome
