Thanks so much everyone!! Ya'll bring tears to my eyes. Too kind.
I have had a few questions that I answered but will share here as well, in case someone else wants to know.
I did start with 4" squares and my twister template is 2 1/2" with the lines marked at 3/4" from each corner. You could probably get away with a 2 3/4" square for the template but my cutting isn't always accurate enough for that.
Yes, TATW is a Trip Around The World and each "round" is the same color. There are 3 shades of pink, light med & dark, and one of those was actually a solid. The dark pink does have glitter designs that don't really show in the pics that just added to the starfield background. Really popped in person.
If ya'll have any questions, please just holla. I have been off of here and actually in the studio the last few days but... ended tonights session in there with a mini fit of rage at the current project. LOL! I am sure ya'll know how that is.
**Edited because I forgot something. :-)
Also, when figuring just how big to make one of these I use the following 'rule of thumb'. I figure the size I want it to finish at and make the starter quilt double that size. Usually comes out pretty close to what I figured. I also draft everything before I attempt to begin a project so I have some type of guide to go by.
Just some tips for yuns.
