Yesterday at my LQS, we were talking about Jane (she looked at me like I had 4 heads) and then I told her about AOTH because I wanted to look for fabric for it...she just moaned and said.."I'd NEVER get finished with that!" , but agreed that its a great looking quilt. I think that they prefer that you do really quick, really easy quilts so that they could sell more fabric (as if I don't buy enough as it is..LOL!)
