Pam Bono

I like working with her patterns. Just take one step at a time and definitely do the baggies with labels, as others suggested. The designs come together well. I did table runners with two friends while on vacation...one have very little experience. All three of us were successful in completing the project and have a nice piece to remind us of our time together!

I actually got started making 4 quilts from one of her books--- big ones too! It was the first quilting book I bought, and the first rotary cutter quilts I had done.... started a landslide of quilting. You can find her books now on ebay and yard sales, used book stores etc. I have a good bunch of them. The patterns may look complicated, and yes may be a little time consuming, but not hard.

I cut the fabric for one block at a time. Much easier for me to stay organized. Or I cut all at once and put each block pieces in a ziploc, one block per ziplock. Her patterns are easy but organization is the key.

I bought all the fishing patterns for a quilt for my dad, he passed away in 2008 and still haven't made the quilt yet. Someday I will get around to it, but have so many other projects I want to make first.

I have been working on her Into the Light quilt for quite some time...its not that its hard...just time consuming because of all the tiny pieces...not a beginner quilt for sure...but I to organize my pieces using sandwich bags and little post it notes tokeep track of what pieces are for what section of the block....I have several of her books...I want to do one of the kids patterns thats shaped like a castle but afraid to bite off more than I can chew right now....bleesings

Your quilts are beautiful! I am a terribly unorganized person but perhaps I can turn over a new leaf ,Doubtful but I already have the stash that I can practice with so I wont really be out anything but time :)

My little "lasagne pots" that you all must be so tired of hearing about are just the thing for all the pieces!
