If this is the case, (and I can believe it as the quilting world is dominated by the same agressive marketing tactics that are seen everywhere) then it makes me mad. How many newbies have been put off and discouraged because they buy a pattern or a book on how to make a quilt that the PR claims can be done in 5 seconds flat. Then they try it and it takes them 5 weeks - so they feel like a failure, give up and take up fly fishing instead? (Not that there's anything wrong with fly fishing, it was just the first hobby that popped in my head! Go figure!) :lol:
