I bought this pattern at a quilt shop in Granbury. Saw the quilt and loved it. I thought some instructions would be included. There are some but none about how to do the surrounding blocks. The owner did the one hanging in the shop and I called to see if she could give me a little idea of how to do it. She wasn't in and I was told that it is appliquéd and that it is assumed when somebody buys a pattern like this, they know how to applique. Well obviously I don't but I sure would like to try. I tried to fuse it and embroider around and that was terrible as well as with my machine. Does anyone know how to do this. I can't figure out how to do the small areas especially the points. I'm about ready to forget it but I paid $27.06 for the pattern and I don't want to throw my money away. Would appreciate help. Thanks.
