EASY PIECES Review

In looking at the cover of this DVD, I thought this would be a rather easy block to create.  Once into the video, I discovered that there were so many things to have to do to create the two blocks that I most likely would never do it.

Yes, there are only two blocks and two shapes to create the blocks so you would think that it would be an easy one to make.  After listening and finding out that you had to pick 12 groups of colors and then sort that into groups and resort yet again.  I think I will take the idea and create my own block rather than trying to follow all the sort/group details the author does.  No, my quilt won't look like hers but the idea will be there

Also, the directions for cutting the wedge pieces were detailed and a swatch sheet was needed to keep track of what went where.  And when sewing, there was yet another regrouping to be done so that each block didn't come up the same color.  By this time, I was exhausted.

If you like lots of intricate detail and enjoy picking and sorting colors and regrouping them into other groups, then this is a DVD you should get.  I will just take the general idea and create it my own way.
