What does 'cut down' mean?

This appears to be a fairly easy pattern I'd have my second level beginners tackle. Not a fan of paper piecing, personally, but it would not *have* to be done that way.
You'll be fine, just "do it!"

Is the flower border the only part that is PP'd? I've been reading through the block directions, but I havn't seen anything about PP yet. Can you guys tell by looking at them?

Yes, the smaller side blocks around the large cross are all PP. It IS a beautiful design--good luck!

I completely concur
Great patterns, thanks for the post.

Yep - coz those little triangles are really little.

It looks to me like the crosses are paperpieced and the flowers and leaves are appliqued. I love both techniques so I would do this quilt. It is beautiful

Could I cheat and just use a plain border around the big cross, skip the flowers?
