I had my doubts about this one from the very beginning. The cutting called for 3/4″ pieces by 2.5″ at the longest. It wasn’t until I was sewing the bits together that I realized that each of the 24 blocks had 13 pieces; for the record that is a total of 312 pieces not counting the borders. That is a lot of pieces for a 12″ x 12.5″ project.

But this was my June project for sewing with Stacia and Deloise and I didn’t see any point in putting it off – those pieces weren’t going to get any bigger. Our schedule was for just one day of sewing together but I had to take another full day to get this done.

Now that it is done and hung it might be one of my favourite patterns from the book.
