Good luck and don't get discouraged. Do it to make yourself happy, not to impress others!

I just gave away my "Trip Around the World" book by Eleanor Burns and even the lady I gave it to said it was very hard. Be cautious with that one if you don't have a lot of time, as it is very, very time-consuming, in my opinion. I just felt better when a seasoned quilter told me the directions in the book were difficult. I, too, thought it was just putting squares together, but oh no, it's more than that. I'd put them together square by square rather than do her directions again.
