They give excellent directions. Very clear and precise. I'm just a slow learner, I think!
I'm so sick of this thing I don't even want to quilt it. I have no idea how to even begin quilting it. I already have a redwork quilt on the frame for hand quilting. I'm not sure I'm at all up to doing hand or machine quilting on this thing. I guess it'll have to go back into storage for another 5 years! Ha!
I know what you mean about taking so long. My Avatar quilt for my mum took 3 years as I needed to put it away each year for a few months to recover from all the needle turn applique that was involved in the 17 blocks. just put it aside until you finish the redwork and then you will be ready to finish it--I promise once it is done you will be glad of it.
