On many designs one design would take 72 minutes to stitch then you had to do three more. All this was done seperate so you have many hoopings to complete the block. The reason I did not use the mega hoop because I did not want to sit at the machine for several hours for it to stitch out. With the mega hoop you could have stitched a section of three designs at a time.

This has to be the most work intensive quilt I have seen, but what a result of your labour, give yourself a great big pat on the back girl!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

All the words have been said to express how wonderful this quilt is and how dedicated you are to try something so intricate for your first project and then to NOT get discouraged shortly into the project. I bow to you in total admiration. Great job and thank you so much for sharing.
