I'm with dunster on this one. I'm currently working on a paper pieced, king size hunter's star quilt. What was I thinking!!! This is a gift for BIL/SIL. I thought this was going to go much more quickly than it is. Wrong. I'll probably need to buy more fabric as this particular pattern is quite wasteful. Or I'm quite wasteful in my pre-cutting. And thread...miles and miles and miles of thread.
The paper piecing makes for a very accurate result, no doubt, but it is not quick! It's very tedious. This will look stunning when complete, I'm sure, but boy will I be glad when it's done.
And then there is the quilting. All of the other quilts that I've made for all of the sibs have all been hand quilted. I'm not sure I have the time to do so on this quilt as there are some medical issues at play here (BIL). I muddle through this aspect as I'm piecing....
