thanks, everybody, for the compliments.

it just looks difficult.
it was actually very easy to piece.
drawing it into EQ was the challenge.

there are no y-seams at all.
the seam attaching the first triangular strip-set is a partial seam.
once all 8 triangle sets have been attached, the first seam can be completed.

I don’t know what the Lydia project is but they are much blessed to get this masterpiece for whatever purpose.

How cleverly pieced this is, so interesting, yet rather easy. Wonderful!!
