Anyway, here is a photo of 4 completed blocks. My first observation is that this project is a LOT of work and not for the faint of heart:) However, many of El's tips included in the book are really helpful. Like sew the crowns and circles and sit in a nice easy chair to turn them. It's all about doing it in stages. I am learning many things as I go along...like how to make better points on the crowns. Some of mine are better than others...but that's OK, this one is for my own wall:) If you do this project make sure you have all the recommended tools, including stiletto and ballpoint, they all come in handy and play an important part in making this. Don't cut any corners.
Now that I have all the pieces cut, sewn and layed out for assembly I am really liking it. I haven't decided on the color for the sashing yet but I will get to that this weekend.
