I have found her pattern directions to be fairly simple to read. However, in all fairness, I did the Lover's Knot quilt as a wedding gift for my son and girl friend and I did have to re-read the directions a couple times. When she called off the wedding, a month before the wedding (which was a very good thing, although my son was devastated). He has now found and married a wonderful girl, who is a joy to us all. Best of all, they presented us with our very first grandchild, Zoe, who is now 3 1/2 and what a joy. I haven't checked her Quilt in a Day web site, but she may have a tutorial, which might help you. The Lover's "Not" quilt was later finished and given to my church as the raffle quilt for our Holiday Fair and made a good amount of money for the church. Out of a bad situation, came some good. Good luck with your cardiologist appointment. I will say a prayer for you.
