I get all but hand sewing done and carry around that so when I am sitting waiting on appointments, traveling, dinner to cook, laundry to dry or what ever- I can sew! I'n surprised by how fast it goes.
I bought the book and dvd for cotton theory quilting 1 and after reading how it was put together decided I didnt want all the bordering effect that it had so I have never used it however it is reversible so might be good for placemats or table toppers. I found an excellent book by Beth Donaldson "Block by Block" with several quilts and what I consider to be clear directions for QAYG, I am currently following those to make a quilt, it does require sashing, but I think it could be done with out by studying her method. However there is also a website for Acorn Hill Quilts with directions from Rhonda Dohna which you should take a look at, as it does not use sashing, I plan to try that one next. :-D
