Rob--just did a VERY simple crib quilt pattern for a give away at the LQS--one thing that I struggled with (and I have to say I do not have a future as a pattern designer!) was how basic to make some of the directions and whether to include each little step. One thing that I did was put a list of abbreviations at the first (WOF, HST, etc) as this was intended as beginner pattern and us "old hands" sometimes forget that not everyone knows the lingo. Good Luck!
