    I feel your pain. I have a DWR that I call the "quilt from hell". I have been working on it since 1993 or 1994.

    I made one for my daughter's wedding back in 2000 and had it made in 3 months and sent it off to my Amish friend to quilt it. My daughter was engaged at Christmas, I made the quilt and had it done by May for her wedding shower.
    I had no trouble at all. It is queen size and comes down about half way to the floor. I would do it again in a heart beat. Why some of you find it hard or are scared to do it, I just don't understand. I cut all of those little pieces. If you think you can do it, go for it! It is in browns and peaches and looks beautiful on her spare bed. I sleep under it whenever we go there overnight. I would attach a picture but it is in the album somewhere. I will have to find it and send it out. Please don't be afraid to do it. I found it easy. The "melons" - just keep dividing it in half and no puckers. I would teach it if you all were close.

    Omg! Why didn't I know about this before I started? I love how easy this looks! Still have three more rows to make before this one is done, just hope I have hair left when I get done! Oh we'll, was thinking about cutting my hair anyway.

    I'm with you, having made a DWR in a small size -- but I love the way they look and will consider making another one without all the little squares in the curvy thingys, like yours!! I didn't have trouble with the parts fitting together -- I'm just into easy and simple now days!!
