What was your inspiration?

Everyone who helped... This group of women take whatever I throw at them for the baazar quilt... from 500+ half square triangles to foundation paperpiecing... they are great and I am proud of all of them for showing up and taking on a job! (even if they don't sew)
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Take your time... layout the blocks to make sure you are puttig the backgrounds in the right spots. AND remember... a quilt is just as much about the journey as it is the final destination!
