Someone gave me some great advice once about where to start; she said, "start in the lower right quadrant of your quilt because the eye travels there last and people are less likely to notice imperfections there." I've been doing it that way ever since.
Love our quilt.

Another super advice!
Unintentionally I started there yesterday.
I do not sew on weekends, so I will continue the attempt on Monday!
A hug!

The center me "hit" when I saw the total!
But now I started down the right!
You'll see when it ends I'm doing!
The first "iffy" ... the bottom! Hahaha!

Just look at that original quilt. The curls and straight line curls work so good together. So much texture. It is wonderful. The whole quilt works together. You are on your way! keep up the good work!
Peace :D

Also love your fabrics and contempo design. Keep on keepin on!

You're not weird .... very sweet!
I'm not throwing anything and these sheets have many years ... but I'm happy to have given a "spin"!
I learned a lot following the design, making cuts, fitting each piece into a block and each block strip and the strip into a top!
I am also a rare ... I look at it and smile! Hahaha!
A hug!
