    There's no reason to be stuck with a term for any longer than it will take to type up your question and for one of us to type you an answer...you've got lots of friends here that would love to help you reach your goal! Look for the blocks with eyes that are actually sewing, not seeing...construction ease is what we want...the magic happens when the blocks go together... does that make any sense? I may be the one language challenged here..lol.

    Thanks for all the replies, I might actually spend the £30 in that case. I just hadn't seen the rest of the book, but trust you all if you say it's worth it. :-)

    It is worth it. There are a lot of good patterns in there.

    Ok, sold! Now I just have to sneak it past my husband, lest he enquires why I bought yet another quilting book...

    Oh, one more question - could someone who owns the book tell me how big the squares inside the rings are, as my photo squares are 6.5" and I can't cut too much off them? I was planning on a large bedquilt (king or queen size).

    The inside square is 6 1/2" so you won't have to cut any off your photo squares.

    I also have the book, and I can assure you that all Judy Martin's books are well worth the price. While I have no problem copying a pattern that is not copyright - well, this one is. It is an original and it is not ethical to copy the design. (I think it is okay to make the quilt from the library book while you have the book checked out, but it is NOT okay to copy pages from the library book.)

    Sorry to act like the quilt police, but as quilters we need to protect the rights of designers like Judy Martin. Otherwise they will not be able to keep on creating the beautiful designs that so many of us love to make.

    Yes, I agree. I didn't know who she was until today, so thought they may sell the pattern somewhere by itself. The book is already ordered and will hopefully arrive soon:)

    You might check out Judy Martin's site and look at the viewer photos - http://www.judymartin.com/Viewer-Photos.cfm You'll find photos that viewers have sent in of many of the quilts in her books. There are some stunning ones of Monet's wedding ring. (And I've sent in some pictures of my quilts too.)
