Here's a sneak peek of the back of the Mystery Quilt of Valor that Alycia Carmin is presenting in conjunction with my Templates class on Craftsy.com I can't show you the front quite yet because the Mystery is not complete and the final reveal has not yet been made. Patience, my friends, is a virtue. :)
While this may look super complex, IT IS SO EASY!!!!!!! I used a couple of templates (1 straight, 3 circles and 2 melons), some super simple markings (and I do mean super simple!), and filled everything in with very easy medium/small scale stippling and some pebbles. This is a quilt that any confident beginner could do.
Don't believe me? Take the class and I'll show you. We launch in a little over a month!
Deeply committed to infusing quilters with the confidence that stems from developing a growing mastery of one's craft.

Fixed!
My apologies to those who were trying to access the tutorials on Practicing and Backing in the Pages toolbar just below my title bar above. I messed up the code on those pages while creating them so they either showed as gibberish or, depending on your computer, as being nonexistent. D'oh!
They're fixed now. Sorry!
