Nice choice of colors. Have bought the ruler and pattern but can't do it just yet. Need to finish up a couple of other things before I venture into this. Mine is going to be blended beige thru browns to black and is going to hang on the wall. This pattern fascinates me. I first saw it done in Christmas fabrics two years ago and the I'm still intrigued by the colors and the shape. Would love to see a picture of the back side to see how you quilted it. That's the only part that I don't have worked out in my brain.

I just stitched it at ¼" all the way & left an opening, trimmed the seam off at the point to the stitch line.... then trimmed away the batting in the seam, leading up to the point & turned them. I spent time fussing with getting the point turned out, using a chopstick and then rolling the point back & forth with my fingers & I think this helps a bit.

Actually I didn't find it anything like a bargello to make, because it's a wedge ruler you're using to cut, not regular strips. I have taught myself to use a rotary cutter with either hand and that was a real plus in this pattern. You need to cut on both sides of the wedge & the top & remove your piece, leaving the rest of the strip set on the table. If you had a table you can walk around then you're lucky.
