My Gypsy Wife: Part 3

I got all of the blocks up on my design wall and started arranging them according to the pattern. The quilt just started to grow.




And then I started to add the strips.





The piecing process was definitely unique. It tested my abilities as a quilter for sure. I now feel rather confident when it comes to partial seams though. I have a feeling that this will be my new favorite couch quilt. Or at least a very solid contender for the Good Folks Quilt (my current couch quilt). Happy sewing!

    I'm working on this quilt too! It is so much fun, yet it is frustrating sometimes. I see that you made the second hourglass block from page 21. It's the one right under the nurses cross block. I made the hourglass and the border, but the triangles are too small. Do you happen to remember if the directions were incorrect for that? I need to fiddle around with it a bit I guess. Hopefully I won't waste too much more fabric

    This is beautiful. How difficult are the instructions on this? Have the errata been corrected?
