I agree on the price.... So with everything El, just take one step at a time..... don't look ahead. Do it exactly the way she says and it will turn out right. I'd rather spend $ on fabric than classes |

Here is a link to a video on Night and Day. This site has several videos not on the Quilt in a Day site. |
I made the night & day last year, I'm not good at following pattern, I usually do paper piece for the more complex looking patterns. However, I Was able to work through her book without pulling out my hair. Definitely do a practice with less expensive fabric before you use some you love, and she gives you a way to use the scraps too, which is great cause there is a ton of fabric cut away. The Quilt turned out beautiful and I donated it.
Good luck, tough decision, but again I would give it a try with practice fabric then decide on the class. |
Shadoh-I'm one for classes too. I get it alot better and faster, however I watched Eleanor Burns actually demonstrate the making of this quilt in Puyallup, WA last year and it really is easy. I was very comfortable I bought the book to make it. But save your $65 and try it on you own first. There are so many quilters on the board that someone would jump in when you need the help! After all look what $65 can buy today! Ummmmmm more fabric-perhaps? It's a beautiful quilt-beautiful when done with the right colors.

Try this thread on here, with pics etc.There are more threads for you to explore before deciding. I a;so have the book, but haven't used it.

I posted a Day and Night picture on here with some comments about how truly easy it was to follow her great directions with lots of pictures....please check out that thread. I don't think you need a class; just a little patience and take your time with the directions. Honestly, I was impressed at how easy it was to get perfectly matched points!

now i see a 6 hour class offered by my LQS for 65 $ .. money is tight right now and am wondering if it would be worthwhile to take it or use the money for fabric and just have a go at it with the book only. any thoughts out there.?? xo for replying,..ps.. love love this site. |
Quilter's Cache has a 12"(finished) paper pieced pattern of night and day.

Treat the book as a recipe - one step at a time. It will come together for you.
