I really, really like this pattern, but it is definitely not for beginners maybe not even for intermediates. It appears the pattern was originally designed for hand applique since it calls for hand applique needles. I had intended to do the quilt by hand applique anyway, although I know that it has been done by others using the fusing method. With either method, it definitely is not for beginners as each block contains numerous pieces, some rather small, and the instructions do not include the basics for either method. That is perfectly O.K. since it was clearly not intended for beginners. It does give some directions for using a method to place the pattern on the background by first assembling it with glue and then placing the entire design on the background with glue in small areas. I have done hand applique for many years and many people do say I am very good at it. To me it seems that this method would be very awkward when hand appliqueing because of all the small pieces and how they fit together (sometimes under another piece in one area, but over another piece in another area), so I intend to use a more conventional method tracing the pattern onto the background and then applying the design piece by piece. (The block patterns do give the placing sequence.)
I have not seen this quilt done up, but I have seen the similar Christmas Baltimore Album quilt at a local quilt store done by hand applique, and it was very impressive. So, even though there is going to be a lot of work involved, it will definitely all be worth it, and I am really pleased with all the block patterns and border pattern.
