I have made 5 quilts with the 4 patch posies or some variation- a good book with good instructions for layering the fabric and cutting is essential - you will have so much fun when you finally get started. The books I used were "Magic Stack-n-Whack Quilts by Bethany S. Reynolds. I took a class with Janice Jamison and we used "One-Block Wonders encore!" by Maxine Rosenthal & Joy Pelzmann - this class was a City Quilters in NYC.
