    Thank you all for the nice comments!!

    The pattern is not paperpieced - it's kind of a stack a whack. You pile up the 16 lights and 16 darks, put the freezer paper pattern on top, and cut. After doing this quilt, and one other (24 fabrics stacked) I finally ordered a 60mm rotary cutter. The 45mm worked, but it was crazy! This quilt went really fast. I spent more time pulling out bad tension than it did to put this top together!

    I usually only post one picture here and point to my blog. I have several boards where I post, and downloading pictures has sometimes taken me over my internet limits (I have two teenagers!). This way everyone can look if they want to see more, and I can keep posting. Sorry if it's inconvenient, but it's the only thing I've come up with to keep my internet costs in line.
