Love Sally Collins but don't have this book. Just ordered one through Amazon! Thanks for sharing your recommendation.

When our quilt guild had the symposium a couple of years ago, Sally Collins was one of the instructors. I could not believe her beautiful quilts! They were so tiny. Made me want to send her all my scraps....they can't hardly get too small for her to use. She has very maticulous work and it is absolutely gorgeous!

Wow - I'm impressed! I was at a show a few months ago and one of the quilts that won had points all over the place that didn't meet up. Couldn't believe it won. YOUR points are all PERFECT. I'll have to look up this Sally lady :)

I probably wouldn't have picked up the Sally Collins book as my first quilt book, although it should have been, because she makes it so complicated you don't think you can/don't want to do it. Heck, anybody can cut and sew, right? HAHA

I had to see how bad my work was in order to accept that I needed to do the very basics a lot better.

Here is a wonky block from project 3 - before Sally. It is one of 6 blocks (of 14) which were too wonky to use.

well thanks for listening and sharing your comments about Sally Collins -
