I'm going to have to see if I did that last side section the wrong size along the way. Now I'm hoping I have the corrected instructions. Can't wait to see your pictures!!

Just finished quilting mine, dark brown batik with a lighter tan, gold backing. I will be putting the binding on it in the next week or so. Didn't consider it a really difficult or intimidating quilt; just take your time and follow the instructions one step at a time. I hand-quilted mine, and it took 2 complete spools of thread to do so - very densely quilted, maybe too much. Will post a picture of the finished product very soon.

Should have the final border on mine tomorrow. I took a couple of weekends off to sstraighten up my sewing room. Glad I did! Nothing new to add to “tips”. The patterm is written well. Just take your time with it and don’t try to rush. Really not a pattern you can ripush through. When I got tired...I quit sewing on it.

A great quilt to do but needs to be displayed at a distance so you can really appreciate your work and the 3D effect. I completed several of each block just to see how it would turn out. Sitting on my caravan bed in a small space it just looked like a lot of shapes:(.....I needed it to be somewhere where it could be viewed from a bit of distance and perspective. Hanging up on a wall or in my bedroom it looked fine but I had intended this quilt to be for my caravan so I decided not to continue with it and chose to do a bargello for the little caravan instead! Maybe in the future I'll pull the Labyrinth blocks out and finish it....one day...

Ruby, thank you for summing up your impressions up. I feel the same way. I am hopeful that once mine is quilted and DONE ..The image will be what it should look like. Right now...not convinced. ��. Just finish it..then we can compare our results! Sandy |
I have my top finished. It's now ready to quilt, I have 5 to quilt, sigh.
The only tip I can think of is to make sure your fabric has enough contrast between each other so you will end up with the depth of the block. It really is a beautiful quilt. |
Threadhead..mine does. I finished it last night. Layed it on the floor...looks better. It will be quilted in a couple of months. My long-armer has quite a few quilts ahead of me. I will giveit to my husband when it is done. He requested it.
I am HAPPY that I got this done. It went quicker than I expected. It was a lesson for being very organized from the beginning, being mindful of detail, a lesson in patience. The only “regret” is that I should have tackled it sooner! Would I make a second one? Maybe. I will post a picture of the top. Sandy |

Hubby wants additional borders so that it covers the box spring....just thought I would share “as is” for now. Yes it needs a good pressing and quilting...... Finished this top a week ago. Whew!
