I don't have the material right now to do that but love the look of it.

Sorry, it makes me seasick, just as every cruise I have ever been on. Guess I won't put that on my "to do" list.

Thank you for sharing this. The instructions are a lot clearer than patterns I've paid a lot for, though if you had a few photos might make it a bit more clearer. I really like it and have put it on my Want-to-do list.

I'm not overloaded with major yardage here and am keen to make a start with something from my stash. Any thoughts as to if half size would or wouldn't work?

If you want to do half sizes, you should take .5 inches from each measurement, half the result, then add .5 back to it

Example the first set of black strips which are 1.5 x 39 would be
1.5-.5=1<~divide this by 2
1/2=.5 <~add .5 seam allowance (.25 for each side)
.5+.5=1inch wide

Lengths would be more difficult though because you have to account for seam allowances. It might take me a while, but I might be able to put something together for you.

Oh don't worry, it's very kind of you though! Now that you've mentioned the seam allowances (duh!) I can probably figure it out. Thanks anyway though...

I think everything looks great. It makes sense to me. I would only add ending punctuation for each sentence.

I have downloaded your tute and it is on my bucket list. I am afraid that it would be my last quilt. I think it would drive me nuts. A real work of art. Thank you. ♥

I remember these patterns from the 60s - will give it a go. I wondered about the pattern of your cutting until I got to the bit about keeping everything in order...penny dropped then. Good luck with more attempts.
