I am not an experienced quilter, but I have taken classes to learn piecing, etc. All the classes have been QAYG! The quilts are much heavier than a normal quilt and there are a lot of "extra" steps. Not as easy as they would like you to believe. I, of course, being nieve, thought I could make queens for my beds. Well, one is almost done and I think I have unsewn more than I've sewn. The weight is very difficult when connecting rows to rows, etc. I suggest QAYG for bed runners, table runners, small lap quilts, but not anything of substance.
