Ok, after staring at my project bag of fabric and the pattern (purchased in late 2016) I have decided it had simmered long enough and now it is time to tackle this project!

Weekend 1
I cut out all of the pieces and sorted each into a ziplock sandwich sized baggy writing the number of pieces and the size per bag. I used a Sharpie to label each bag.

Cutting Instructions were clear...I got the calculator out to maximize each strip cut per strip. Was not too bad. Eliminated waste.

NOTE: An efficient cutting chart by the designer would have been helpful. If I wasn’t lazy I would have made detailed notes. I might still do that.....My apology!


Weekend 2
I sewed the Walls of Jericho blocks together. (5). DONE!

Carefully Read each step. The illustrations are great!
Check off each completed step.
As I pieced together the individual parts together I reused the main baggy and labed it by the pieced letter. A, B, C, etc.

I then labeled each baggy above “Jericho”. (just in case I make this project again....the verdict is still pending). Lol!

Weekend 3
Sew the San Luigi block (4) , add the borders...DONE!

Send the finished top to the long arm quilter! (I might stitch in the ditch quilt it since it is a manageable size....)


This weekend I will sew the San Luigi blocks (4 blocks) . If I come across any additional tips for this block, I will add another post. I don’t anticipate any though.

the pattern/project looks intimidating. Read the instructions, organize your cut pieces, take your time completing each step, check off each step as completed. Don’t let this project overwhelm you! One step at a time!

Have fun!
