I ordered this pattern and when it came it was so tiny I could hardly see the little pieces. I had to blow it up on a copy machine to the size I thought I could work with. This one block has 118 pieces. WHEW..... There are three other blocks in the pattern, but I'll have to think about it before I attempt this again.

Framed and matted for my sis. Sorry for the glare from the glass and the flash

Absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to see the next one.

Enlarging it was brilliant. It's wonderful as framed art. I'm inspired, but I'm not sure I'd have the patience for that many pieces. I hope your sister knows how lucky she is!

Wow. That's gorgeous. Way, way beyond anything I could hope to do. :)

SWChick 03-28-2011 09:27 PM

It is beautiful, but now you got me scared. I had bought 3 patterns that are a set. 2 have 6 blocks 8X10 and 1 is 10X14. I bought because paper pieceing seems to be the hardest and I wanted to overcome my fear of it. I just counted the easiest and there are 64 pieces and I know each piece has to be stitched on each side. All the others have so much more. I think I will enlarge 500% and learn that way or maybe they will go to future projects. Yours is so great, I don't know if I am ready.

Aunt Sue 03-28-2011 09:28 PM

Amazing! I've never thought of framing them....great idea!

marilynr 03-28-2011 09:37 PM

What a great idea to enlarge a pattern. You did a wonderful job. it is beautiful.

Amazing i love the colors. I did simple paper piecing in straight line but i still don't get how shapes like this are done (looks to me a lot of work), but worth it.

Painiacs 03-28-2011 09:50 PM

Wow wow wow ur amazing! 118 pieces! Yikes! Bet u r glad it's done. Sure is beautiful!
