What I found with week 2 was that I spent a lot of time standing cutting the pieces but once I had that done they sewed up very quickly. I am doing paper piecing for the HSTs this week. I am hoping that I can get them done quicker that way because of my limited time. Good luck with yours. Post photos when you are done won't you?

Rita, Thank you for the compliment. The design came from a book called Adoration Quilts by Rachel W. N. Brown. I believe it is out-of-print. You might be able to get it on eBay. When I was looking for a copy of it they were going for $50.00. Fortunately, a friend at church had purchased it hoping someone would make one or some of its beautiful wall hangings for the church. There are many absolutely gorgeous projects in the book. I am glad I didn't have to pay $50.00 for it but I can understand why some people might. I chose the project we did because it was the right size for the Communion table. There are other projects in the book that I believe are more beautiful,

As for the CS quilt I am almost done with week 1 and now I am still 2 weeks behind.

I have just got back from the UK and saw this weeks task which I hope to get done before I have to go away for another few days on Tuesday. It seems doable thankfully.
