There are 12 huge blocks and a couple half ones so the pattern pieces are quite big and make it go very well.

Good luck with yours, and will be looking for updates. :)

Oh I cut wood ornaments or whatever when I get in my painting mood lol. I have a Heigner and it cuts beautiful. I was going to try my hand at cutting out plastic templates for some of the patterns in some books instead of buying them. I got the blades already and plastic.
I will be posting a block every two days I think or as soon as they are finished. I will go ahead and just keep on joining until the quilt is finished. I am really enjoying this.

You are my hero!!! I have a pattern of hers as my wallpaper on my computer. I purchased a pattern of a different one of hers at Paducah this year. This particular quilt is on my bucket list but I might be 90 before I tackle it.
Right now I have half of Niemeyer's Bali Wedding Star cut and paper pieced and I am at my personal limit looking at this much less intricate curved piecing!

Absolutely my sentiments. That pattern scares the heck out of me, just by looking at all those parts and pieces. You ladies who have mastered this technique are truly artists extraorginary. I am in awe of your talents and patience!!!!!
