I was really disappointed! Didn't expect color on my B/W Kindle, BUT thought I would get it in color on my iPad! Nope! The instructions are great and clear but no guide to what I am sure are the best colors that show off the blocks is missing with the Kindle Version. Pay the extra and get the book.

I bought the kindle version without thinking. The entire book is in black and white, nothing in color. That is a major drawback for a quilt book. The rating refers to the kindle version, not the real book, which i know for a fact to be in color!
