No, but I like it! Have fun!

I printed the pattern. It looks easier than I thought it would be. The layout will be what you need to be carful with. Label, label, label. Bucket list for sure! Love it. Thanks for sharing.

What an exciting project! As others have said, the block itself is simple and it will be the layout where you'll have challenges. Definitely a design wall and you'll do just fine. Can't wait to see your progress.

Looks very involved, just would need to be so organized!

On the last page of cutting instructions it says - From Fabric AAA cut 6 - 5 inch X WOF then subcut into 48 5 inch squares for background.

My group decided to make this pattern. I said, “no way”!!! After I saw everyone else coming in with a completed quilt, I decided to make it. It was not hard at all!! The part that was intimidating for me was the cutting directions that showed the huge list of fabrics. After I had paired up the contrasting fabrics that would make the same block, it was smooth sailing. I have kept this quilt for myself. It is all “dots” and solids. I love it.

Ooooh what a neat pattern! It's fun how the blocks overlap. Good luck. I would surely get confused somewhere along the way

Thank you all for your tips and encouragement. Jaiade those are great quilts. Ellen your colors are amazing. It really makes those squares pop.

The trick is to pick a LOT of contrast between the 2 fabrics that has been paired for each block. I pulled out my dots and solids, then I paired these together until I had 26 different sets.

I then made the 3 units for each block. Notice there is only 1 block you need 4 units for. 3 blocks you only need 1 unit for and 4 blocks you only need 2 units for. :-)

I forgot to say, don’t sew the rows together until ALL blocks are made. This is so you can move the blocks around for better placement with other colors. The reason I say this.... (I was too excited with my progress that I did not want to wait until they were all made!)....I had to unsew a few of my blocks and a whole row because of the placement of the row under it that did not match up. Just sharing an experience well learned on this quilt. :-0

Love this pattern and am going to try it too. Hope to see your finished quilt.
