The photos below show the actual quilt constructed using the Winding Ways block, also known as Wheel of Mystery. I used the Accuquilt Studio to cut the fabrics, as I can stack and cut up to ten layers at a time. This quilt has exactly 120 blocks, and took me 35 hours to construct. That is, 35 hours of cutting, stitching, and pressing. Each block took about 12 minutes in total, to create.
When I first proposed to do the Winding Ways quilt, I created a colour map using EQ7. However, I bought and cut the fabrics far ahead of getting the software. Its akin to putting the cart before my horse. The photos attached show what the quilt really looks like, and its destined for use in either our bedroom or on the guest bed. Its a queen size plus, as its long enough to create the tuck under the pillows.
