i agree classes definitly have their place, but $65 for a class-- when you already have the book and probably have to buy other supplies-- seems awfully high to me...it would really have to be something spectacular that there was no way i could figure out for me to pay more than $30 for any class.
if you have time before the class take some scrap fabric and do a couple practice blocks from the book, if you get it...you are good to go...if you don't get it, then maybe check into the class...or see if you maybe know someone taking it who would share some tips afterwards. :thumbup: i have the pattern but have not had a chance to really check it out but i'm pretty sure there are a couple made here on the board, you could probably get the help you need here once you give it a try and see just where your confusion lies.
