My Labyrinth Walk....tips
Ok, after staring at my project bag of fabric and the pattern (purchased in late 2016) I have decided it had simmered long enough and now it is time to tackle this project!
Weekend 1 I cut out all of the pieces and sorted each into a ziplock sandwich sized baggy writing the number of pieces and the size per bag. I used a Sharpie to label each bag. Cutting Instructions were clear...I got the calculator out to maximize each strip cut per strip. Was not too bad. Eliminated waste. NOTE: An efficient cutting chart by the designer would have been helpful. If I wasn’t lazy I would have made detailed notes. I might still do that.....My apology! Weekend 2 I sewed the Walls of Jericho blocks together. (5). DONE! Carefully Read each step. The illustrations are great! Check off each completed step. As I pieced together the individual parts together I reused the main baggy and labed it by the pieced letter. A, B, C, etc. I then labeled each baggy above “Jericho”. (just in case I make this project again....the verdict is still pending). Lol! Weekend 3 Sew the San Luigi block (4) , add the borders...DONE! Send the finished top to the long arm quilter! (I might stitch in the ditch quilt it since it is a manageable size....) This weekend I will sew the San Luigi blocks (4 blocks) . If I come across any additional tips for this block, I will add another post. I don’t anticipate any though. the pattern/project looks intimidating. Read the instructions, organize your cut pieces, take your time completing each step, check off each step as completed. Don’t let this project overwhelm you! One step at a time! Have fun! sandy |
This is not on my bucket list but I would love to see yours. Will you post pictures?

It was not on my bucket list either. My husband saw it on Facebook and asked me to make one for him. I will post a photo when it is completed. sandy |
Thanks for posting this. My husband wants me to make this for him too.

Another tip......chain piece each block section. Goes quick! I clocked 1 hour or less per completed “section” .

I started mine last week. I cut the stripes out. and made Jericho without a problem. Then started on San Luigi, and got to where I was adding the last section on the right when it didn't match. 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!!
