Relax and you will have a blast, each one is a masterpiece I tryed for months just looking at everyones quilts, messed up and when I got the book it was easy. There is a tutorial you tube about how to connect the blocks that was very helpfull, but you do need the book. It is so fun, so just enjoy, it is a very forgiving pattern, there is so much motion you don't notice the small stuff. No need to clutch just sew. Please post pics!
