Whew---that gives me plenty of time to do a block, rip it out, redo it.....
Well, I sat down and did the first block and had so much fun with it that I decided to do another one today! I am trying to move slowly with it (first time sewing batiks and it is the "Wedding Quilt"), but I think it is turning out pretty good so far! Wish me luck!!!
We did change all of the fabrics as well.....will try to keep this updated!

Lovely!!! What size are those blocks? They stand out so well..

When you look at it in the whole it can be quite intimidating. Just take it one block at a time. Remember baby-steps. You have to crawl before you can walk and you have to walk before you can run. So start with the easiest parts and progress to the more difficult.
That is going to be a georgeus quilt and I'm sure you will do fine.
