I took this years block of the month, just finished last block, and love it. Her templates are great for accuracy, glad I took it. The quilt shop that offered it only required that we purchase a and c templates, charged us $5.00 for first block and $5.00 for first set up, after that as long as we brought finished block to next month meeting. We received the next block, pattern and fabric free. If we missed a meeting, we had to pay another $5.00 to get the block.
