Also, all of her so called templates are not templates for the pieces in the block. She has the four inch blocks shown with lines drawn inside the squares for each of the pieces....some info, it indicates you have to add seam allowance onto these pieces.....however you have to use a light table to draw the pieces on something else, separate the pieces, add your seam allowance.....then you see in the pattern that she wants you to cut on the lines....but not on all pieces......are you getting the idea here.....When I pay this much for a pattern, I expect clear information, and an easier process for piecing.....lots of work before you even make it to your machine. Still love her quilts.
I followed umpteen blogs when Gypsy Wife was all the rage: the above is exactly why I decided not to buy the very expensive pattern.
Some day I'll make my own version of Gypsy Wife.
For those of you who are having problems, try googling "blogs" + "Gypsy Wife". There are many solutions to the problems, not to mention absolutely wonderful Eye-Candy!
