    No it was pieced using 2 1/2 inch strips, so easy to do. The hardest part was sorting the fabric into lights and darks, as some of them were in the medium range

    WOW! MiraB you've created another awesome quilt!

    And all Stonehenge fabrics ... I love the shading effects they give and it's fantastic what they have created in this quilt.

    Glad that you did not follow the pattern ... I can't imagine cutting off those 9Ps on point!
