Sizzle 'n Pop: Six Strip-Pieced Quilt Patterns Using Bali Pops [Paperback] Review

I have been construction the quilt on the cover, Clerestory Window.I have run into several problems.First, I have had to buy a LOT more fabric than she lists.Second, there are problems with the lists of cuts of fabric to use for each section: her color names ("medium brown" versus "brown") are not consistent.And with there being 3-4 shades of each color being used, this is VERY important.Her instructions on how to piece the quilt together are very lacking.I've made it through sections A and C easily enough by working with the picture of the actual quilt, but I do not look forward to Section D (the upper right side of the quilt).Unless you are an expert quilter who needs little instruction, I do not recommend this book.

Product Description:
Clerestory Window is for those of you who want to spend some time creating more of an art quilt. Simple techniques, with thought to choosing fabrics, values and sewing angles --result is a gorgeous heirloom quilt. Includes a tips page for ideas and techniques. Hollyhocks is for beginners and uses two versions of the same block. Even the setting triangles are easy! Great for a weekend project or for a retreat. In the Courtyard at Dawn is beginner to Intermediate level, using 3 different blocks (one is a twist) and is set on point so takes a little more time to sew. French Roast is beginner level and great for retreats or a weekend project. Three different blocks cause the interlocking weave, and the piano keys border is the perfect (and fast) ending. Trellis provides a basic repeat block pattern. Using two different blocks, you can whip this one out. No worries about fabric placement, either, as it is all very simple and very clear. An ideal weekend or retreat project. Stars and Garters uses repeat blocks and pieced sashing to make this quilt a lot simpler than it looks. The challenge is your color placement so use a design wall for ultimate success!
