Beginners Quilt Along About to start

I am so excited to try a new quilt along, thought some people should see it.  Its by the legend Pat Sloan, and I hope there's more people who would benefit from the basic methods that all people should know.  I have even heard from people who have been quilting for years they want to do this quilt along as well.  Hope more people get to know about this benefit to the craft. 

There will be availability to use the blocks in 2 different ways, and there will be many helpful quilts.

 Here is the link for all of you.
