I'M THINKIN I WILL MAKE TIME to learn to do this one!! omg.... i love it!!!
OH and did I mention this is a FREE AMY BUTLER QUILT PATTERN?!! OMG I KNOW!!!!
You can go here to download your own pdf of it..
WHEN, key word, I get ME TIME I will definitely be making one...but OMG I can't even wrap my mind around how much fabric this will take to do.. O to tha M...G....(G meanin Gosh)....
BUT IT'S WORTH IT! Maybe this will be my "Bizzy B's break" project (I take like 3-4 months off during Christmas).....
Any quilting tips out there?? or way to not make me have heat palpitations thinking about making this??

The answer is definitely "To Quilt". Amy Butler is awesome! (Plus she's from the midwest.) There area a lot of resources out there on "modern quilting" as it's gained a lot of popularity (my personal fave as well). Check out Quilting Arts and Stitch magazines. And, I can't wait to see your progress on this project.

You should do it!
I quilted as a 12 year old, so if I could do it, you could too! And if that's your result, even if it's the only thing you make, it would be SOOOOOO worth it!
I am about to download that pattern, because even though I doubt I'll ever get to it, I'm thinking maybe, just maybe....

I have pieced several together! They are fun but take lots of time. I would be happy to help you with it!! Having a pattern will make it so much easier. I made my own patterns! Hope you get to go to the Zoo!!! I love the Zoo!!!
