Actually this is not anywhere as difficult as it looks. You only 2 blocks - one is a 9 patch and the other is almost like a pieced triangle. Karen's patterns and directions are absolutely clear. The only thing I had trouble with was matching the diagonal intersections but I did find that hand piecing made me a LOT more accurate (probably because I wasn't just running material through my machine - I took the time to match the intersections). The book is worth buying and my opinion is that anyone who can sew a straight stitch can do this. I also did FMQ becasue of another quilter on this forum who did some lovely work and inspired me to try - but Karen's quilting patterns don't call for it - the patterns are also very easy and straightforward.
Thanks for letting me know they are easier than they look.
I can't believe all that with 2 blocks. I think I'll get into Ebay and look for her book. I can't wait to try this. Yours is really an inspiration. I love your colors too. Thanks again.
