I have just made a lap quilt with the 10 minute block and it took me less than 1 1/2 hours to make 7 blocks using 10 inch squares. I consider myself a beginning quilter(have been doing for 3-4years) and I needed to read the directions carefuly and watch the u tube video but I think they are very easy to do. Suzanne McNeill has several great books vailable on Amazon. Sorennana
