Very pretty design. Thanks everyone for posting pictures. It is always fun to see one pattern made up a bunch of different ways!

There's always one block I want to move and that starts a domino effect of moving blocks. Still don't have it sewn together!

I did not find this pattern easy either. I finally decided not to make it and did something else.

i like that term ( design enhancements) if your not making show quilts but for your enjoyment don't stress over it just enjoy doing them
|
I like the way this version turned out. Nice job!

This was my first quilt several months ago. I hated it - and still do. There is an error in the pattern layout, look hard and you will find it; especially if you are making the queen sized quilt. Also, I used way too many fabrics. Good Luck, and I hope yours turns out beautifully and you love it.

I like your attitude with the design enhancements!! That's the way to go, lay it out in a way that's pleasing to your eye and it should be fine. I know I spend way too much time over analyzing all parts of my quilts and they always turn out fine. I know where the mistakes are but no one else can ever find them!!

I did one a few months ago,my first twin quilt, and the largest one I've made so far. I followed the directions step by step, including the tip to circle the number in the directions for each step for the size being made-that tip helped especially in making the units. The layout is up to you, but there also was a tip to turn units in different directions,and that helped to create a variety or random placement. I would agree with the suggestion previously mentioned to just do each step. If it is the layout you are having trouble with just remember it is random, don't try to make a pattern.

I tried it when I was a nubie on flannel. It was a disaster and is still sitting in my closet. I know I could do it now but I just cant bring myself to look at it!!!

Oh come on, be brave. It will be a piece of cake now that you have more experience. Sometimes hearing that everyone else had the same trouble with it will make you realize it's not you and it'll be easier.
