Steph-that is a gorgeous quilt--it has such great movement to it. And I bow to your "bias talent".

I love your choice of colors. Black, white, and red is a timeless combination.lol

It stretched and I just steamed the crap out of it to get it back! This was done with straight grain cutting, then all the pieces were sewn together over hanging by about 2 inches, and then those edges were cut off at the 45 degree angle. Then the edges were sewn together into a "tube" and the final strips cut from that, then re-sewn back together again, I had to stick a pin trough each seam to match them up! It was a bear but fun!
