Quiltingboard Forums - I started this in October of last year......

well my goodness i never expected 7 pages of compliments! you have all really flattered me! i am going to make another one; have the fabrics picked out; a bit more controlled for this next one. to answer your question patski, no it was not hard at all. it was, however, EXTREMELY tedious. i started out by just making a few pieces here and there when i wanted "no brainer" piecing to do. like HST's and 4 patches. i needed 240 of each of them and just kept doing a few at a time. the quilt is made with using only 2 cuts, 2 inch and 3.5 inch strips. it is entirely only 2 blocks, the 'monkey wrench, churn dash' whatever you want to call it, and the 54-40 or fight block. you need the tri-recs tool to do the triangle blocks, and the F & P half and quarter ruler i finally learned how to use and it is always by my side now! no more trimming up HSTs with that! it is a SNAP to make them! a solstice quilt is in my bucket list too now after doing this one. and my quilts will be mostly scrappy this year. i think i really like Bonnie Hunter! :) thank you alla gain so much for the compliments; you have really made me feel special today and i thank you all.

I seen the show but not sure if I could do it. Was it very hard and confusing?
