This is a very expensive quilt to make
A LOT of fabric is wasted. Yes, if you want to create a table runner afterwards (as suggested in the book), you use the scrap pieces, but I can tell you I will never do that because I created the quilt for someone else, with themed fabric, and the colours (and design) don't compliment anything in my house. And also because it's a lot of trouble to make, and there are much nicer, easier and softer designs available for table runners. So be forewarned.
