WOW! Thank you everyone for all the compliements! OMG! I loved this quilt but I didn't think it would even get a second glance at a quilt show.
Here are a few answers to the questions here:
I'm not a Virgo but do have many of those personality traits. I have a mathematical mind and do have a lot of patience. I usually only work on one project at a time.
I didn't make a ton of money when I sold it, although it was more than I spent making it, including the services of the long-arm quilter. But, I figured if I kept the quilt, I would store it in a closet for 10 years until the time came to give it to my child for a wedding present. Better to have somebody using it/ displaying it.
How did I get the stripes to match? I tried to show examples using lined paper. First, you cut out a triangle out of the stripe fabric. Then you put that piece on top of the uncut fabric, rotated to match up. You cut a second triangle. The red line in the second photo shows where you would cut.
Thank you again!
