    it is a fun, easy fat quarter quilt which takes on a different look with the use of different fabrics. Not particularly the best pattern out there, but surely one of the easiest and quickest when in a time crunch.

    I'm glad that you are such a talented quilter.
    This pattern was the first one recommended to my duaghter (11 at the time) to start quilting with. It is a quilt!!!!! This was a fun one to do too.
    It was easy and fun to pick fat quarters - she got a variety of colors/designs. I kept in mind that it was a learning process and not to put my two cents in when she was choosing colors unless she asked. This took an entire day out with mom going from one quilt store to another. I then bought us a Happy fat quarter pack to make one for my bed. Still working on it. Hope to have it done for Mother's Day.

    I think it is geared to beginners, I'm not crazy about it. "Just Can't Cut It" is a great pattern for a simple beginners quilt.

    I am a fairly new quilter and was told that it would be a pretty easy one for beginners. I don't know if it will be my favorite but I think it turned out nice ( for me anyway hee hee)..

    I think what I have gotten from this thread is that
    "to each his own" and when lovingly made, is just as precious as another. By the way, did you make that quilt that is in your avatar? It is beautiful.

    Aren't all patterns some type of geometric shape(s) sewn together? Just because something is fast, doesn't mean it is done haphazardly. Or "thrown together" without pride. You are certainly entitled not to care for the quilt or the pattern, but do you need to make others feel bad for their efforts?
