Convoluted Instructions
The photos are great. The instructions, on the other hand, are not. She gives you a sheet with all the pattern pieces printed on it when all she needed to do was say cut a square 2“ x 2“ or whatever. You don’t need a template for that, and I can’t imagine that you would even dream of using one. I am not a beginner quilter and I can tell you I had to read her instructions several times to even begin to understand what she was trying to say. There is a beautiful sampler included in this book that claims to be something to beginner could do. It would be a shame if someone who is a beginner quilter tried to do this project because it would most likely end in a fail.
