How easy the project was. It really went together quickly. The challenge was getting just the right angle for the center rectangle.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
choose fabrics that are fun and easy to work with.
Make a big triangle to line up the angle for the center rectangle piece, then make a big rectangle for the center of the quilt and align the rectangle on the angle of the triangle, pin in place , then cut it out.
