unless you are an experienced quilter.

Oh I'm so glad to hear someone else say the same thing I feel about Jenny's tutorials. I really like MSQ and appreciate their tutorials, I think Jenny is a hoot....

Baby Quilt, sail boat was a real pain in the patootie for me. I'm working on the 4 patches + X's and O's...I totally agree everyone's 1/4" is different, that aside I had to make some real adjustments to get seams to align/match. I'm pretty particular about my seams matching, personally it drives me crazy when intersections don't align, this quilt is definitely one that I feel they need to match. When you look at her quilts whether it's her or one of her employee's that piece the quilts often the intersections don't match very well (maybe it's okay for Jenny "not to die" over seams not matching :0) ...maybe that is what makes them fast and easy for them?

Don't get me wrong I really like MSQ, have been a follower and customer since the beginning, but Fast and Easy in my experience has not been the case. I will continue to watch the videos and probably be 'charmed' (pardon the pun) into making another quilt from the tutorials but I will definitely know from experience for me, to doubt fast, easy, darling, quick quilt comments :0)
