This system works great but you have to really read it good. I looked at the price and wow, I don't think I paid that much for it....y
I think I got it at Planet patchwork when they had a sale on years ago.
I was talking about Elinor's cd 's

I got her, "Victory Quilts" from Amazon.com. The block in this book are all from Block Base but I like Elinore and every now and then I will get something from her. Oh that is the third quilt on my list.
