It is a BOM from Keepsake Quilting. The instructions are written in the old way with templates. I had to convert to rotary cutting and Thangles (paper strips that make it very easy to do half square triangles without MATH) to save my sanity. Hence the swearing. And procrastination. Hence three + years. I think my retreat group is very happy they don't have to look at this one any more. LOL They've been cheering me on for three years running and they all clapped enthusiastically when I announced it was finished. Too bad we didn't have champagne. This one really deserved a celebration.
Now to find time for the quilting. Some day?
Notice the red ears. That's me in the middle of a hot flash. In front of my guild. Yay.
piecin' love,
Terri

Great job! I was thinking about joining this BOM project, but I don't like triangles either and I usually pick an applique block... Your quilt looks like the struggle was worth it - beautiful!

Your quilt is just beautiful! I'm working on this project right now or should say I'm struggling with this project right now. The instructions aren't very helpful. Do you have any advice?
Kristy, You;re right. the instructions were hard to understand at times. I didn't use the templates they provided unless absolutely necessary. Instead, I measured them for rotary cutting and/or used Thangles (triangle papers) wherever I could. Pay close attention to your fabrics and where they go in the block. Eat lots of chocolate. The struggle IS worth it.
