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.

Where can I get the pattern for the Chain Reaction Quilt prefer it written to video?
