It's done, it's done!!!! :D :D Well, at least the piecing is. I really like how it has turned out. Now to decide on the quilting design and get started on the second one. (Did I tell you they wanted a matched pair?) BIL requested it as an anniversary surprise for his wife in April. What was I thinking.... LOL I think the second one will go much faster now that I've corrected all the pattern mistakes and know how it goes together. Thank you all sooooo much for your encouragement and support!!!!! I couldn't have done it without 'cha :thumbup:
couldn't get a full on shot in my little room.

The piecing is slow.. I counted the pieces... OMG 2,215 in a twin size! :shock: Sewing the rows together I pinned at every intersection which is basically every 1.5 inches. That's the only way I could make sure that my seams and points matched. I have to say that this is, to date, the most challenging project I've ever done and I've learned alot in the process. But the result is more than worth it. I can't wait to see SIL's face :) That, for me is the best part.
