    I am in the midst of reading the books. The quilts sound amazing.

    I have read and/or listened to all the books, but haven't tackled any of the blocks yet. Will look forward to hearing what everyone has to say.

    I have one of the books (patterns) and have read all the novels. They are pretty quilts and I might make one sometime...... don't look difficult..... it's nice to have the story behind them.

    I have been reading them, too. I just bought the one called Sylvia's Bridal Quilt, but I haven't made any of the blocks.

    I have completed about 20 of the blocks. I will have to do a couple of them over. Very beautiful, and many are quite easy, but I am not great at set in seams - never seem to come out exactly right. This quilt takes a lot of time, preparing templates and cutting out but will be beautiful, I think, once finished.

    I love this book series - next book comes out in February! I've not made any of the blocks/quilts yet though. Maybe someday.

    I would love to see the parts you have completed so far, Donna? Have you posted a picture here?
