Yes, she wanted Vortex, for which a pattern and an instructional DVD was made by Andi Perejda - but ohmigosh, this one is GORGEOUS!
The applique is complex and the piecing would make such good use of CW scraps - I just love everything about this one.
But QN doesn't ever print a "pattern" for their cover quilts, do they? Or do I have them confused with a different magazine?
