Interesting pattern and good directions, but she should have shown the 3 quilts she described in the beginning, as well as the one she mentioned that used the leftover pieces in the border. I was disappointed they weren’t shown after she talked about them as if she was about to show them.

I agree. I was looking all over the place for the example quilts she was talking about and could not find them anywhere. She should have showed them in the video if she was going to reference them.
Hi Audrey. Thank you for your feedback. Your feedback has been forwarded on. We appreciate your comments.
She talked about examples and the examples never got edited into the video. You lost me in the beginning.
Hi Shirley. Thank you for your comments. We will forward your feedback on to the proper department. We appreciate your comments.
I agree
Me too!
Where can I get the pattern for the Chain Reaction Quilt prefer it written to video?
Hi Linda. We are sorry, but we do not have the pattern for this.
I’m lost because she starts on hers before I’ve even seen one even though she kept saying as you see or as we can see.
Hi Mary. We will forward this on to the proper department.
She needs to be a little more organized. She really needs to show examples that she talks about. As a teacher, myself, she needs to have more confidence in herself. It was hard to stay interested as she was very monotone with her teaching.
