Well you have a pattern that you trace on to your fabric. You color it (they give you the color names) with regular crayola crayons. then you put a paper towel over it and iron. Then you embroider around it (they tell you which thread color) Mine had 12 different squares. then you quilt them together. My 85 year old mom is doing one with me. I draw, she colors, I stitch and hopefully I will quilt with a little help. We have enjoyed doing it. I take it to her doctor appointments and work on it. I finished last week and now I am picking fabric to quilt around it. Hopefully I can post a picture in the near future.
