Maybe you can see the lines in my photos in

That's gorgeous. It really has that 3-D effect. The picture with the quilt draped over the chair should be in a quilt magazine.

This is the instruction booklet I used. Also, here is a youtube video about it.

I watched the youtube and it looks very easy, but the quilt looks complicated. I have done Tumbling Blocks with set in seams and this is so much better. Thanks!
