I too was mesmerized...so I got all the templates and books - I've made 2 table runners and a lap quilt. They all came out fabulous! There are a lot of pieces and a lot of cutting, but the end results were worth it. The only problem was picking out all the colors - I made up one block to see how it would look, then changed out a fabric when it didn't contrast enough. I also found I REALLY had to pay attention to how she said to sew/cut the pieces so they would all fit. Hope this helps.
