I'm working on cutting Step #2 pieces and I have a question. Bonnie gives us 2 ways to cut them. I'm using the Companion Ruler to save fabric but I find placing the ruler as she says so the bottom edge is at the middle 2.5" line makes the width of the rectangle wider than the 4.5". I checked to see what it would end up after sewing the square HST to each end and it still comes out a bit over 4.5. Is anyone else having this issue? Haven't cut my neutrals yet so I'll wait I hear from some of you on how yours measure out.

The picture is too dark, I know, but here is mine. It's lovely to be finished piecing, and I hope to send it to be quilted next week. You can't really see but I put a red border, gold one and finished with a wide black border. I wanted a queen size.
Everyone's quilts and quilts in progress are looking wonderful. I love this design! I am especially enjoying the different color ways!

Bluebonnets, the muted gold works so well. I love it!

Finally! A flimsy, a back and ready for the quilter!! Woo hoo!!
My colors are what Bonnie recommended, in civil war reproduction prints. However, I went with more cheddar than yellow.
The flimsy and layout are per instructions. The only change that I made was in the corners where I added a neutral strip before the red triangles.
Did I say woo hoo?!? Woo hoo!!!
