Love Annabele Wrigley- class was very informative and easy to follow. The pattern looks daunting but it is not at all.

Have loved this quilt since I first saw it a few years ago. It was on my must make list so I was excited to see it here with pattern and directions. Annabel is thorough, clear and easy to understand. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to learn paper piecing and sewing curves because she explains it thoroughly and walks you through it so well!
