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.
Hi K. Thank you for your comments. Your feedback will be forwarded on to the proper department. Your comments are important to us and help with the development of our online video streaming community.
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.
It would have been really nice to see the quilts she was describing in the beginning of the tutorial.

Thanks for this video – I enjoyed watching it! Interesting pattern & I love the idea of using the “scraps” in the border of the quilt – I frequently try to do that.
Just saw this video, and the quilt turned out so pretty. I too would have liked seeing the examples she mentioned in the video, as I couldn’t visualize what the quilt would look like. I think she did a good job of explaining the steps, including examples of some mistakes to be aware of. Thanks for this. I will keep this pattern in mind when I get some pretty jelly rolls.
I definitely was disappointed that we did not get to see the other quilts mentioned. Also it says we can learn to make this quilt but doesn’t say where to go. I see you mentioned you did not have the pattern

Loved this video!! Makes me want to go right home take out all those jelly rolls and strip sets I purchased and never used yet! I’ll just now have to purchase some 10” squares to make it real easy!!
It sounded like we were supposed to see the variety of quilts but they were never shown. Disappointing
