    That's a beautiful quilt.

    I have a pattern for something similar to this, and you just inspired me to do it with tube quilting rather than how they recommend, where every little piece is cut out then sewn together. So thank you for inspiring me! :-D

    You are bold and not afraid to play around with a pattern. Good for you

    :thumbup: I sometimes just "play by the rules" lol. If I was faster at sewing I would probably do that. When I see it done differently it inspires me to do it. That is why I like this board so much. Thank you for showing me this new way.

    Looks great and love the colors. I was trying to do one of these but kept messing up on cutting the square. Each square turned out an 1/8" or so off. What's the secret??

    Was you 45 degree angle (on your ruler)on the SEAM line> and then be sure that you ruler is right on point at the edge of the fabric.
