In My quilt group..we had alot of beginners at one time, i picked out this pattern for them to learn to follow the directions and cutting,piecing.
the diag. in the pattern shows how your FQ is laid out in front of you,and the cuts needed,and where to make them. i think it is an excellent quilt for beginners.
it can be cheap to make, when FQ's go on sale..
and you can't afford to buy any yardage.
i have seen some really pretty ones!
mybe it is time for a yellow brick road picture show!
