Another beauty! Really like the scrappy look too. Thank you for the quick reply, can see the quilting really well on that pic. I've gotta try this, thanks again!

That's gorgeous. It really has that 3-D effect. The picture with the quilt draped over the chair should be in a quilt magazine.

This is the instruction booklet I used. Also, here is a youtube video about it.

I watched the youtube and it looks very easy, but the quilt looks complicated. I have done Tumbling Blocks with set in seams and this is so much better. Thanks!
