I have read and reread the directions but feel I would be much better off if I had some tips from those of you that have made this quilt. I read that Cindy had posted suggestions concerning the quilt but I can't find the thread. I would appreciate any help you can give.
Thank you,
Judyhttp://www.quiltinaday.com/community/fo ... sp?forum=2

Re: Quick Quilt Trip
Judy,
I did the quick trip. It was not hard at all. Someone posted a suggestion that I copy the instructions from the book and highlight them as I worked. That was a great suggestion. I made the 'United We Stand' quilt on page 15. Once you get started you will love it.
Have fun, take your time and ENJOY!
Hugs, Kathy

Re: Quick Quilt Trip
Just go for it! If your really worried, use some WallyWorld fabric and see how things go. I bet you do just fine 
) I haven't made it yet and I'm not even a newbie. If you do one, so will I. How's that sound? Amie ;OD

Re: Quick Quilt Trip
Judy - I think it was me who suggested copying the instructions then marking with a highlighter the completed steps as you go. I do this so that I don't leave a step out. Also helps when you have to leave the project for a while - when you come back to it you know right where you left off. It's worth the tiny bit of extra time to do this for me - who suffers from CRS.
I have make the Trip quilt but it's been, let's see, OMG 10 yrs. ago. I don't remember much about it now so, I'm sorry, I'm not much help.

Re: Quick Quilt Trip
Thank you for the suggestions and support. I am ready to start. I am in the process of completing a sampler. It is a large king and I have hand quilted all but four squares. Just finished piecing a queen double Irish Chain. I enjoy hand quilting but I am now falling behind. Guess I may machine quilt the Quick Quilt. Thank you Cindy for the suggestion, I can see where it would keep you organized. Kathy, I viewed your quilt in the photos and it is outstanding.

Re: Quick Quilt Trip
Judy, I love making this quilt pattern and just finished 2 baby quilts and am working on the third. Once you get it, you will fly through piecing it. It is fun and goes so fast. I love all the different results you can get just by changing the order of the fabrics.
Have fun with it and don't over think it. I promise, you will love it!
