“I purchased the book when it first came out – 2007. It was waited (with fabric) until I wanted to tackle it! This past 1 1/2 years was the time to do it. 2 weeks of cutting and 6 months of sewing – it was finally completed.”

“I took a class at the Minot quilt festival, taught by the designer. It was a full day class and most of us got a good start on one corner. I chose a jellyroll in browns and cinnamon that had a few dark strips (that were used out of necessity); my stash has been raided also.”

“The original pattern is a twin size pattern finishing at 75” x 92”. I re-designed the pattern to be a wall hanging at 48” x 55”, using the EQ8 computer software program.”
