Put me in the confused club. I have 2 of her books and one pattern and I just don't get the way she explains stuff and when I went to her youtube channel I just can't get over the way she "talks down". I understand that she was/is a teacher (once a teacher always a teacher) but not every teaching style is for every person.
Just like learning styles :-) I am glad the Dr. appt. went well and I hope you are able to get your quilt together when it doubt make extra blocks they can always be made into wall hanging or added to orphan block quilt later
Happy Quilting :-)
