I saw that little gizmo demonstrated at the LQS and thought it was a bit over-priced. I guess if I had that much ripping it would be a bargain. Your quilt is going to be so pretty and I'm looking forward to seeing the end result.

Thanks to all of you for your positive feedback. I cannot take credit for these beautiful colors as I bought a 2.5" strip packaged set at my LQS. I loved the ease of this "chevron-style" pattern and it was fairly easy to put together. However, I did make a huge error and it cost me quite a bit of waste. Not even sure exactly where I went wrong but if you do this quilt, I suggest that you pay close attention to your beginning pieces. Make sure they are in the correct configuration. I believe that what happened to me was that I had theses pieces up on my design "board" and in order to get the whole row on I started quite high. High enough that I had to use a step ladder and I believe that I couldn't really see where my last few rows should start. I believe that they needed to be a row higher. Once you get going incorrectly, the whole row is wrong.
The quilt turned out really pretty nontheless and I love it. Thanks again. Yolanda Wood River
