I love that pattern and I wish you good luck in the doing of the entire quilt.

I'm with gigi. It is on my bucket list, but I haven't started it. I even bought the PP pattern, but I'm scared!

I used deb tuckers ruler for mine too. It took about a week to make the top. It still isn't quilted yet though. I injured my wrist pretty bad and am just now (seven weeks later) able to sew and press with my heavy iron again. There is a u tube video on it in case anyone is interested.

I also want to make a crossed canoes in blue and white. I love that pattern. I wish she would invent one for that too. LOL!

Send her a note about it, she might consider it. At the MI show she did a demo on the new Square Squared ruler that can now do up to 12" blocks.

I think you are making great progress and I admire you for tackling this pattern. It takes me forever to make a quilt. I choose the pattern and then I plan which colors I want to use. I can only work for 3 hours at a time also because of arthritis and it is very rare to have 3 hours without interruptions. I also do the machine quilting on my Janome 6500.

It took me two years to do mine, and that was using the Go for all the pieces. Never again! Best of luck with yours

One day (you know 1 day is not a day of the week?) I would like to make a Hunter's quilt but would use 12" finished blocks. I love to PP... Think scrappy would be great & hope to reduce my stashes down...

Here's the 96" x 96" one I made using the Deb Tucker rapid fire (large) tool. I would make one again in a heartbeat with her method/tool, it was such a pleasure having all the points/seams line up.

Michelle, that is gorgeous! Maybe I'll try again someday - after I get all my current projects done (ha ha, probably never!).

Love, love, love that ruler now. I like that it has the beveled edge.
Love the ruler too..the 6 inch is really all you need to start with and will really help for trimming...
