I made the Shooting Star block from the book and found it to be a good experience. It had a paper pieced portion and I was able to follow the directions and complete the block.

I have been quilting for a few years now...but I have never tried applique or any type of paper piecing. I am strictly a patchwork kinda girl thus far. Do you think this quilt would be too advanced for me? (I am waiting for approval on connecting threads as well heh)

unless i'm wrong, i don't think you really need the book. with a little research you could probably find the block patterns yourself. many of them are on quilter's cache. if you're not familiar with that site it's: http://www.quilterscache.com have fun :wink: edited to say: in answer to the real question: some of the blocks are quite easy. others are for advanced quilters. don't let that stop you. if you go at it, you'll become an advanced quilter. |
I have the book, and have made a few of the blocks. the instructions are very clear, and all patterns come with the book.
