    Thanks for the explanation, I just went on line and bought the pattern. After viewing the demo, I understand how hard it would be to cut it after having made such a lovely quilt. I appreciate the info.

    Be sure to post a picture of your quilt after you finish and let me know if you enjoy making it. It went together really fast.

    Fabulous quilt with striking colors. Don't know if I could have cut it though the result was wonderful.
