I just got Anita's book as well. It arrived on Christmas Eve, which was a nice surprise as the email said delivery on the 27th. I have not had a chance to do any sewing from it yet, but love her shortcuts. My husband has already picked out a favorite pattern from the book. He may have to wait though, because I want to try the ArrowHead Block first. Nice job on all your projects! I'm really impressed that you did the StarSpin w/out a pattern! You are much braver than I am - my pattern is in the mail and should be here soon!
