You will not be disappointed. This is an incredible bargain and you will finish with a beautiful quilt and all the help you will need to actually finish it.
I am on my fourth block. I'm going slow because a lot is new to me, especially the appliqué. The sewing group I meet with once a month has either been very kind to an old man, or I am doing well. I'm loving it. I'm already thinking of picking certain blocks, appliqué, and pieced, to match in one quilt and other color themes for different blocks. Then I won't have a sample quilt. but a variety of quilts with different colors.
Very impressed, it must have taken a lot of work and dedication to produce such an amazing piece of work, I was so impressed that I had to print the whole thing out it is now my prizes possession I just hope I will become good enough to make the blocks up it is a fantastic book even my husband was impressed and he was in the print industry for 50 years congratulations on a job well done
I am in Australia at the moment. Bubbling to get started with the quilt as soon as I am in South Africa. Reading through the notes and watching the videos to get started. Thank you for the wonderful step by step guidance and instructions.
Read through twice. I now have to decide on the colours. Very easy to follow and great detailed and easy instructions. Thank you. Will post photos when I eventually finish. Cheers.
Very pleased with my purchase and getting my fabrics together to start
