Maybe i need to be adopted by a vet :) I am trying to understand the instructions to Ribbon in Motion pattern and am lost. I have been quilting for a while but just started to expand beyond simple things. Has anyone done this quilt? If so your help would be so great!!

Sorry I haven't made this quilt, but it will be very striking when you get it finished. Someone here will be able to help I'm sure.

Our quilting club is starting this pattern later this month. Any tips about it will be greatly appreciated.

THANKS EVERYONE!!
There are 3 pages of instructions and 2 placement graphs, to be honest with you i'm having trouble with the wording of all of it. I'm usually pretty good at reading patterns but this one is just to difficult.
I think maybe i will shelf it for now because i have 2 more quilts lined up to do. Tjradj, if your group is going to do this I would love it if YOU would share your experience with it. Maybe by then i'll be ready to tackle it again.:)
