Oh, my! That looks great so far. Too far past my limited experience. Can not wait to see if complete!!

Pam--that is quite an undertaking--and you are definitely up to the challenge. You are doing an awesome job--love the fabrics, too.

Looking good!

You are one brave lady, for sure. :) I love the color choices, especially the light blue and light yellow flowered. Are they from a local quilt shop or online fabrics?

Please keep us posted!

You are off to a fantastic start.

Post more pics as you go along.

I got the fabric on eBay from Farm Road Quilts. There are many different color ways... orchid, teal, seafoam, onyx, green, pastel, etc. I really like the orchid, teal and seafoam and thinking about getting a set of each.

I'm done for today. I have the other parts almost finished but I can't attach any more until I get the rest of the fabric. I am so pleased that it is laying flat and the points are lining up. I'm not using steam on the ironing yet because I can't lose all the tiny marked dots but it doesn't seem to need it.

I really like this pattern....but to scared to try something like that....great job and I love the colors also

WOW! That's gorgeous. What a lot of work but it's going to be a masterpiece when you are done. You go girl!

The instructions are pretty easy to follow with the templates. Don't take short cuts on the marking and pinning and I can see where someone might think they don't need to do that but it is important.

It has taken me a couple of days of many hours a day to get this far. Each seam takes thought and checking if it's edge to edge or from dot to dot. There is some speed piecing when sewing 16 of the same part over and over.

When pinning pieces there are dots to line up along the seam and that has been critical too. When I slap two pieces together and think I have it lined up then I go to put a pin through the dots on each fabric I find that I could be a 1/4 inch off.

It's really not as hard as I thought it would be. Just take it slow and steady.
