    Great rescue! I've bought several quilt kits and either didn't understand the directions ( shouldn't they have people make one according to the directions before they sell them?) or I didn't have enough fabric and the fabric ends up in another quilt.

    I'm a perennial optimist though, and I just ordered the beautiful BOM offered a few days ago at http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-99135-1.htm

    Hopefully, this will be the one I finish!

    The pattern itself is so Disconnected and boring really. Your's is intertwined and blended beautifully

    Had to go look. That is stunning! I assume it is also very expensive. BOM usually is. Good luck to you! Let us know how it goes!

    We sometimes need an inspiration to spring from- this pattern was your starting point and you did not slavishly follow.
