Makes me think of my sister. When I first started quilting 20 years ago, my sister wanted one. She didnt even own a machine and thought if I could do it she could---without even taking the classes that I took!
She went to Joann's and bought a pattern from the EZ Quilt Company thinking it was easy....NOT!!!! And proceeded to buy all the fabric to make a KING!! This thing was very pretty but had all these HST's. Then she cut ALL the fabric with no regard to bias or accurate 1/4 inch allowances. What's the dif if it's 1/8 or 1/4 or 3/8, she said.
She is just starting out, newly married and this was alot of money for her to spend. She comes crying to me with this disaster in tubs. It took me two years to salvage it into something that was still pitiful but done.
Any time somebody says this is an easy quilt, I just cringe.
