I have been working on this quilt and have the center finished. It is beautiful! I used the batiks the patter designers used.

I get a headache just looking at that, but oh my gosh it is beautiful. Good luck as you finish it and please do post a picture of the finished work of art.

Love the look of the Gemstone pattern though.

That is a beautiful pattern, too. Looks intricate.

After I labored trying to find the original fabrics and gave up (we live in a rural area and most sites seemed to be sold out), I did find one that was done in the original fabrics. It is truly beautiful and good luck. I am past the center and trying to finish by the end of the year. So many points and seams to match that I grin to myself when I find a long strip that doesn't need matching!!

the worthwhile are seldom easy

If you were in a hurry you could have bought a blanket at the store.

All the seams are straight but I did buy a flying geese ruler and that helped considerably. I do wish I had found out about the square in a square ruler before I got this far as there are bunch of those, too.
