I'm a teach myself kind of person, and trust me, this is one of the easiest things I've ever learned.

that is absolutely amazing. and yes, very very scary for someone who hasn't made any "patterned" quilts. I've only done squares put together for all of mine up till now. I'm trying to find easy patterns to start with, but this one is amazing... maybe in about 20 years or so I might have the confidence.

Thank you so much for posting your WIP! I love it, and the colors you've chosen are awesome. I think because it's a big medallion that it will be much easier than I thought, because I initially thought the whole thing would be about half the size it is! LOL.
I remember walking through Venice and thinking that the tiles would make great patterns. Now I just HAVE to order some for myself. Sigh, another TO DO!

She sleeps like the Princess and the Pea (high bed frame with two mattresses, as we have no where to store the extra one), so a good long drop won't be hanging on the floor.
Yeah, that no good deed goes unpunished thing...this is for the 11 year old. Now our 14 year old daughter is chomping at the bit for hers. :wink:
