Video of Penny demonstrating her technique. This was made before our book was printed. When she refers to the new book in the spring, that is the one we are using.

This link takes you to another video where Penny demos our book. Keep in mind that a lot of what makes her finished block look intricate is that she is using very busy print fabric. They wouldn't look nearly so difficult if they were done in solid colors.
I think if you watch the videos, then read the first pages of the book, then watch the videos again, you will see how it is working.
January is going to be FUN !

The fabric that I ordered for this project just came in and I love it! I have a feeling that my blocks are going to look way different than anything pictured in the book... I am missing one color in this photo - I also have a light butter-yellow color to balance out the values a little more and tone it down some... I'm getting excited about this project! I am taking an overnight trip at the end of the week, and since I can't quilt on the plane I'm going to get better acquainted with the book.
