I can see why it wouldn't appeal to you, and probably
many others, but that pattern has been around for something
like 15-20 years. I don't know when it actually came out,
but I am guessing in the mid to late 90's. It is still a number
one best seller, and I think every quilt shop in America
carries it. The designer, Terry Atkinson, said that she was
able to put her kids through college on the sales of that
pattern alone. It is a very simple pattern, but every pattern
designer wishes they could come up with a pattern that
'hits', like that one and the Turning Twenty patterns have.
I know the designer of the Turning Twenty series, and those
patterns will carry her well into retirement and beyond. :)
