I'm sorry you have to deal with this, but all the experienced ladies on this board seem to have provided great guidance. It's a great learning experience for us all (even the binding thing by sewing the corners), but also an inspiration for me....what's that pattern? Looks beautiful, but hard.
Thanks for your comment. I used the "Robbing Peter to pay Paul" block to create the central panel. It's hard because it's curved piecing, but once you get the hang of it, it's not that hard. First time I made a baby quilt with this block, it took me months :-) Now I can finish a small one in a day or two. This is really the kind of pattern you have to make over and over again to get good at. I must have made more than 30 quilts with this block, so it's an old friend.
