I did do the first block in the book.....came out fine.. I do find the directions for piecing and the diagrams that accompany are a bit lacking. The next one I tried was the anvil...i think on the next page...am nowhere near my sewing cave now.....anyway...when I looked at the pic and then read the directions...I thought they were mixed up. Look at the pic, you can clearly see by the seams.....HSTs and squares...not trapazoids and triangles.....so that was what I did....worked fine and easier to do than the printed way.....wonder how many more of the blocks are more complicated than they really should be....I think this book is a bit dated looking at the copyright date.
Reminding me of dear jane....some were so convoluted it was not worth continuing........my theory being if you are not having fun, then you are missing the joy of quilting.....so I will carefully read each direction carefully and decide if I want to do this.....having to flip back and forth copying templates, reading directions(?) is not the best format. IMHO
