I almost fainted when I saw the directions, since I'd just started this quilting madness the year before and had pieced only very simple tops --including couple made from the bandanas my dogs got when they got groomed. Originally Posted by KarenBarnes

I was so petrified to cut into that huge five-yard piece of fabric that I bought some tempera paint and painted the design onto huges sheets of craft paper to mark where the triangles should be cut. A handyman working at the house saw the paper spread out on the floor and asked what I was doing. When I told him I was making a quilt, he said that didn't look like the kind of quilting his sister did! :)
