Berina Girl: You definitely don't have to do one before you do a mystery. She really does do a great job with her instructions and if something isn't clear just ask. There is always someone that has an answer. Don't be afraid, trust me, you'll have a great time. The best part is at the end you'll have a quilt you will be proud of.
Joe'sMom: I wonder what a brighter yellow would do to your layout. Love how you audition your colors.
