Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I wish I'd read the other reviews more thoroughly before I bought this. The quilt is beautiful but the instructions are definitely not worth the price. More specifically, the instructions for each block are ok - but these are common blocks that you can read about anywhere. What makes Gypsy Wife unique -- and complicated -- is how the blocks, strips and sections are put together. There aren't really any instructions for this section, only diagrams. Just one example: I had to search painstakingly through the book to find the width measurement for all the strips. The back cover says to use 2" and 4" wide strips but that's completely inaccurate; most of them are 1.5" and a few are 1". This is really disappointing given how expensive this pattern is.
