    Wait, don't give up on the idea too fast. While I have to admit that I have hated joining the blocks the way they instructed, goosetracks was the most enjoyable thing I have ever made on my embroidery machine. There were a lot of materials to get together at the start but I have lots of pieces left over and a wonderful collection of threads.
    Thanks for sharing your pictures SheriR. You've inspired me to start another one but this time i'll just put a backing on and accept a plain boring back.

    I did a small feathered star and it was probably the most expensive quilt I have ever made!. The embroidery thread alone was a big expense plus special rulers, their own expensive batting/stabilizer. etc. That being said I did learn a new trechnique so I have that experience.

    I have done the Hoopsisters Goosetracks and Whole Earth project. I did them as a wall hanging as my machine can't do the larger blocks. The whole earth I did as a shop sample so I got a good deal on it. Some of the blocks on the whole earth have so much embroidery on them that one block used up more than one bobbin. I love them both. I joined them blocks as the instructions said. I also did one of the mystery quilts. It is almost complete laying in my UFO pile. All of the embroidery is finished I am adding borders to make it larger. I didn't want to put the bias tape on the back so I skipped the back piece as I embroidered and added a regular back to it and will stitch in the ditch. They are fun projects.

    Oh I like the idea to skip adding the back and add a whole back. I may do that for one in the future.

    I bought a few of their patterns when they were just starting out. There were mistakes in them. Maybe they have learned to proof read more carefully now and/or issued corrections for the problems. I would check their website very carefully and ask a lot of questions before you purchase.

    All are very pretty. I prefer to make larger squares before doing QAYG. I have tried several methods.

    They have not improved their proof reading. They have not fixed the mistakes in goose tracks, one block is still off. The mystery quilt is a good deal. Only $89 and done over 6 weeks. It is doable and used about 4 yards of fabric, it makes a Great Wall hanging and does not feel like a life time commitment. Look for it next year around May.
