I liked the idea of the quilt, but the original version called for the backing to come to the front. The backing is a batik, and it was a PROBLEM for me. I do not know what was wrong, but the sewing machine needle did not seem to pierce all the layers in places. That meant way more hand sewing than I wanted, so I took it apart and sewed the opposite way. I did not have any problem. WHY? I do not have a clue. The pattern for this was from Fun & Done! Quilting, but I have misplaced the name. Since I have an HQ16, I don't really think I would make many of these quilt-as-you-go patterns, but I do have another that I will try, some day.
