Thank you. Regarding the piecing, this is only my 3rd quilt. The first had traditionally pieced blocks, and boy-oh-boy did I learn a lot about not stretching the fabric. I had a heck of a time squaring things up and matching seams as I put the thing together. Shall we say, I was only moderately successful. I called it my "Pre-K" quilt.
The second quilt was paper pieced (irregularly shaped triangles), and it came out with perfectly matched seams. Made me pretty happy
On this one, since it's meant to look like a weaving, I want to absolutely ensure that every seam matches up when I sew the final strips together. I don't feel like I've built enough skill yet to manage doing that without paper piecing. If I were making this for myself, I'd go for it. But this is a gift quilt, so I'm extra nervous.
