Your quilt is turning out beautifully. Thanks for posting, I've learned a lot from the advice you've received. However, I don't think I would ever have the patience to make this pattern. I will just enjoy looking at yours.

The over-all impression of your quilt is that it's very attractive - I love the bright colors you used! You arranged the colors well!
One does learn as one goes -
Accuracy and consistency in cutting, sewing, and pressing do - in my opinion - make the total project go together more easily. Sometimes five minutes in prep/clean up time can eliminate hours of 'trying to make it work' later.

Your quilt top is beautiful. I love bright colors. Try not to just look at the bits that you did wrong, the overall effect is lovely. Great work.

You"ll never guess what I've done...pass me the red please dear!!! I was looking at my quilt top and thought.."what do I want to do with this when it's finished", and, "wow, it's pretty big isn't it" so..........I'm thinking of cutting the top in half or rather, unpicking row 9 so I have 2 couch quilts of approx. 1.5 metres x 1.2 meters each. Hmmmm what do you think? I have enough border material and batting to do it....and am thinking they will look pretty thrown over the backs of my 2 couches in the lounge room rather than just one huge one on one of the couches. Am I crazy????????

I actually think that is a fabulous idea especially if it means you will enjoy the use of them more! After all of the work you have put in it is better to have them out to enjoy daily versus sticking it in a closet....or whatever. Go for it!
