Wendy...Thank you all for the very kind comments :-)<br />Wendy ~ I did this one a bit different... Since I used so many different fabrics, as I cut my fabrics, I put them into 4 different stacks - each stack contained only 1 of each fabric.<br />When I laid out the quilt, I did it a section at a time, using the fabrics from 1 of the stacks. <br />Once I had it how I wanted it, I labeled each piece with masking tape, telling which row and column the piece belonged to.<br />chain piecing, I sewed each row together, first by 2's, then connected those to their neighbors, 'til I had a row, then sewed the rows together.<br />I pressed seam allowances to opposite sides on even/odd rows, so they'd nest nicely (I prefer pressing open, but it takes sooo much longer...) I had a little index card taped near my iron, so I'd remember which row went which direction ;-)<br />Then I sewed the rows together.<br />Once I had a section done, I pinned it back to my 'design wall' (which is just the batting for the quilt, hung wherever I can find a spot to hang it ;-) and then laid out the next section, making sure there weren't any fabrics too close to its twin, and did it all over again....the mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442659609532682275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137238438362331675.post-24992696148941473992013-02-23T16:29:16.778-06:002013-02-23T16:29:16.778-06:00Ter ~ She said she's been dragging it all over...Ter ~ She said she's been dragging it all over her house :-)<br />the mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442659609532682275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137238438362331675.post-69485320288486593462013-02-22T13:13:54.769-06:002013-02-22T13:13:54.769-06:00This is an absolutely gorgeous quilt.

Did you sew them in strips and then sew the strips together?? I just love looking at the pictures. I wonder if I could make one half so beautiful from the shelves of Joanns....hmmmm....<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!!!Wendy in Ann Arbornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137238438362331675.post-45398301380538708882013-02-21T11:01:26.138-06:002013-02-21T11:01:26.138-06:00Im thinking it looks just like she imagined! its p...Im thinking it looks just like she imagined! its perfect and she must be loving it especially on these wintry days!!terrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137238438362331675.post-53561457658866339842013-02-18T16:47:08.476-06:002013-02-18T16:47:08.476-06:00oops...Quiltoops...QuiltScrap 4 Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01042519362824972834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137238438362331675.post-18466800595107322572013-02-18T16:46:47.309-06:002013-02-18T16:46:47.309-06:00Love your qulit...GayleLove your qulit...GayleScrap 4 Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01042519362824972834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137238438362331675.post-23556063631353252572013-02-15T22:15:44.665-06:002013-02-15T22:15:44.665-06:00Great quilt, love the bight colours.
