I bought the book and have made several blocks. I love it, but got sidetracked on other projects so it is in my UFOs. I hope to get it back out and work on it this winter. I really enjoyed making the blocks I have, some were more difficult than others, but nothing I couldn't do so far. I loved the quilt and the story about it in the book, so decided I was up for the challenge. I still am, just need to get back after it. Thanks for the gentle reminder.
