I've been diligently cutting blocks as I want to make a quilt just like that. I am having a hard time picturing how to press all the seams for good quilting though.

Now that takes a lot of patience. Beautiful. How lucky you have a husband interested in your hobby. Bet you don't have to coax him to the fabric shop

Oh, I'd say it took him about a week and a half. He is very diligent. Actually some people call it OCD. But, he works on his quilts a lot of the time since we are pretty much housebond caring for his 92 year old mother.
