Several years ago our local quilt shop used a set of her patterns (Baltimore album looking) as a BOM. We fondly called it the "quilt from H---" but in fact it was just the number of pieces and the cutting needed for those large blocks (maybe 16"?) that were time consuming. Her technique and directions are great and make a lot of sense. The practice handling the small pieces we had for that one was a confidence builder! I have a couple of her books and love the quilts in them. The easy angler was a great tool. Why not try one of her table runner patterns to start with or a wall hanging?

I did one of pam's quilts - the one with saddles on it for my daughter who loves horses - alot of small pieces and alot of matching seams - came out pretty good except the ultra red suede on the saddle has run into the white a little - but never had the quts to wash it.... I should one day. I am not sure I would ever do another one but might.

Hi, Everyone, I love the Pam Bono line of quilting. You have to read the instructions very, very carefully and put all your different pieces in separate little baggies carefully numbered. You have to cut and piece very carefully as well and you have to use the Angler 2. It took me a bit of practice to get the hang of the piecing together of the design. I learned to cut and piece so much better than I did before by using her patterns and techniques. Bernice, Alberta
