The main tip is taking your time. The ruler comes with a table runner pattern. I would recommend making it first. It gives you the chance to make friends with the ruler before you start a huge project. Also, I pin the curves and then stitch them. I was a dressmaker long before I was a quilter, so pinning is an important part of my sewing. As for the colors, It calls for 5 different shade of each color. I used blue, green and purple. They are all batik, so the colors flowed well together. I am not sure about making it scrappy. This quilt is a planned design so using colors that flow is important. I did remake a couple blocks when I put it together, just to get the right colors in that particular spot. The pattern is well written and easy to understand. I would love to see your finished quilt!! If I can answer any questions along the way, PM me.
