    I didn't mention the pattern - but here is a link to the designers page. It is the pattern called Panel Quest. Personally, I was totally confused by the written directions...but maybe it was my inexperience too. Although she did say we were her first class for that particular pattern.

    My main focus fabric was this peacock fabric from Hoffman.

    I guess I had such a struggle with it that I forget how pretty it turned out! I have actually been using it every day lately. Thanks for all the comments.

    It's all coming back to me now! There were 2 different layouts and I used the layout that said 8 cuts of 1/3 yard. The directions refer to color #1to#6 - what about 7 & 8? And how do you cut a 13" square from 1/3 yard fabric cut? I constantly referred to the 2 color pics on the pattern.

    It was totally frustrating! I was bound and determined to finish it because I had too much money invested for it to become a UFO!

    I agree with Candace, it sure makes the colors and blocks pop. This is a real beauty. :)
