If you like the pattern and want to give it a try, here's a link to the daisy pattern. From start to finish the sewing took less than 2 hours and I'm a PP novice. I tried one 1/4 in a different color first, then changed my mind and started over, changing to a purplish fabric for the largest petals. The beading was another 1/2 hour. I just used a fabric pen for the name. It really didn't take very long at all. I guess that's the beauty of PP - it looks much more complicated than it is!

Minnie, What I am trying to say is this: do not use the first page of the PDF to cut your patterns from; the first page is your placement sheet to show you the order (by number) to add the elements onto the stabilizer with the sky fabric pinned on or held on with spray; the "subsequent" pages are the next two (Sail Away) or in the case of the River Bend pattern, three pages. You are looking in the right place for all the pages needed to make the project. Teresa

Thanks for the comments. As for pattern choices... my goodness they're difficult! One pp that I chose that I thought would be simple, turned out to be a nightmare to make (my apologies!). I would love to choose more complex/adult/mature patterns, but I worry about whether they would scare away beginner level quilters. Another problem I'm running into is that there are a lot fewer non-juvenile themed patterns in pp that are on free sites. And many of the applique patterns seem awfully time consuming for a lotto, though I love them.... such as floral wreath patterns. The last couple of lottos, I've tried having pp and applique in the same month so that quilters who enjoy one technique, but not the other, don't need to sit out a cycle. And it's very difficult finding TWO patterns, one pp & one applique (in the same or similar sizes) that will go together in the same project. I'll try a couple of more lotto cycles, but would definitely welcome suggestions of pattern/fabric combinations that fit the criteria I'm trying to meet each month. Thanks, Kay
