Really beautiful and unusual...the colours are lovely and the quilting sets it off nicely.

I love it. I"ve been thinking about trying a Karen Combs but it looks above my skill level. Yours turned out beautifal. :thumbup:

Actually this is not anywhere as difficult as it looks. You only 2 blocks - one is a 9 patch and the other is almost like a pieced triangle. Karen's patterns and directions are absolutely clear. The only thing I had trouble with was matching the diagonal intersections but I did find that hand piecing made me a LOT more accurate (probably because I wasn't just running material through my machine - I took the time to match the intersections). The book is worth buying and my opinion is that anyone who can sew a straight stitch can do this. I also did FMQ becasue of another quilter on this forum who did some lovely work and inspired me to try - but Karen's quilting patterns don't call for it - the patterns are also very easy and straightforward.
