I am very happy with this pattern. I have to admit though I didn't read the details of this item when I ordered it, I just loved the image and so when I opened the package I was expecting a book. It is not a book it is a pattern with a 4 page booklet. The patterns are full size. (Yeah!!)
That is all I need and Sheila gives all the details you need in those 4 pages. The quilt is beautiful and I can't wait to get started.
If you are a beginner in applique and you are looking for instructions on how to applique you won't find that here.
I personally like this because I am not paying for 50 pages of beginner how to. These remind me of the pattern packs "That Patchwork Place" used to sell in the 90's. This is better, comes in a nice full color envelope.

I am finding more quilt patterns are coming like dress patterns--- in a self-contained envelope - plasticized and made of cardboard rather than paper - that is re-sealable. Each envelope contains all the instructions on large sheets of paper that can be taped to a wall or pinned to a bulletin board. This prevents your instructions from becoming lost in the maze of fabric you're working with.

The appliqué patterns are at full size so no copying is needed. You can take the pattern out of the envelope and start right in on creating your own winter garden. The directions for creating "Winter in the Garden" are well written and have various tips such as how to do mitered corners and the best way to cut your fabric. A color photo of the finished quilt is in the directions and, of course, on the envelope itself.

A bonus booklet is included with this pattern. "Color-Palette Appliqué" explains what a color palette is and how the author used it in creating this project. If you read through this booklet before beginning your quilt, it will explains all the codes used in the directions.

If you are an avid gardener or know someone who is, this quilt is one that will keep the summer blooms alive all year long. Make it for yourself or as a gift and the summer colors will brighten the room as well as keep a body warm.

This is a wonderful pattern. I was expecting a book not a envelope of patterns but it was really great, The pattern is ready to use you don't have to enlarge so you can use it. I'm extremely happy with the way Amazon handled the order. With the first order not getting here. They made sure the second got here the next day. Thank you so much YOUR GREAT.

I love this gorgeous pattern which comes with very clear instructions and advice as to how to make this quilt. I love applique as it is small enough to carry with me when I am out and want something to work on. I love working on it in the car while riding, and I work on it during my lunch break. Although I enjoy machine quilting and piecing I love the portability of this as well.

Beautifully written directions but be aware this is really a pattern not a book. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves applique.

This product is too good to be true. Speedy service, delivers as promised if not before time specified. AS this is the first time that i have used AMAZON i am amazed at the professionalism shown with 1.advertising, 2.delivery details and lastly but not least 3. the product... all outstanding

Love these drawings and have used several in my own applique work. As a beginner in applique, Sheila Wintle's Color Pallet Applique caught my attention when I first saw them a few years ago. As I progress in my learning, I'm sure I'll use her flowers over and over. They are unusually pretty and free-flowing.
