Hope it is OK to jump in. It is not hard to put together but I found pressing the seams open, when sewing the strips, is very helpful.

I finished quilting Bonnie Hunter's Scrappy Mountain Majesties a couple of weeks ago and delivered it to my friend last weekend. She was simply overwhelmed. She said it reminded her of pine trees. I may have to make another of these for myself. Thirty-three green fabrics and 31 neutrals - most of them fat quarter gifts from another friend who was cleaning out her stash. It was really fun using fabrics that I would never have chosen for myself, some of them really ugly, to make this beautiful pattern. Sorry if the photo is sideways. I have a new MAC and sometimes the photos turn out rotated.

After I had decided on the layout of the blocks, I pressed the seams to the left in the odd numbered rows and to the right on the even numbers. This helped the blocks nest together at the seams. I was going to work on this quilt in the odd times when I didn't feel like anything too difficult or when I had only a half hour or so to quilt. But once I got going on it, I just couldn't stop. I hope you try it.
Anna, I'm sure pressing the seams open works well too. I'm just a little lazier than you are. Thanks, everyone, for your kind comments.
