That is going to be a very pretty quilt, silliness! I like the way you are reversing the light and dark from the original instructions, it's going to make it just beautiful.
I'll be working on mine later today if I can. I didn't add an extra 1/4" to the pieces while cutting, so I'm now hoping I didn't make a mistake. I just thought I have never done that to any other quilt, why should I do that now... Who knows, this may be the death of me!
