Sue, Could you please share photos with us. I'm sure others would love to see them as much as I do.

To this point I have made 3 of them, this weekend I made a 12 block table runner - and it is completely done. I am in no way associated with the company - just one happy, happy quilter that has found a pattern that I can start and finish. I purchased 1 pattern at a show in the fall - then I purchased 4 others. They are great....
I am always anxious to hear what others hear about them. I will be going to Paducah to the show in April and I just may pick up the ones that I do not have already. I am hooked!!!!
Enjoy,

Looking at the quilts on that site, it appears that they may be joined the same as the other QSYG projects? Is that they way they are joined? Attaching them with sashing strips to the blocks and then joining the rows?

That's right - one part of the seam (which is 7/8 to 1 inch)to the left and one to the right, then to sew the rows together - same process - fabric right sides together - sew press open - fold topstitch. The outer edge of the quilt is finished in the same manner.
These would be great kid friendly quilts - because they are fast and there are a couple of the patterns that would lend themselves well to children's prints.

I looked at the patterns this morning. If you click on the "retail" prompt it takes you to the site called Quilters Warehouse. All I can say is WOW. I was almost late leaving for work looking at all the wonderful things there. I'm going back there now that I'm home :mrgreen:
