Sedona Star

I have been in love with the Sedona Star Quilt since the Minot Quilt Show in March
 
 
I have hymned and hawed for months about purchasing this pattern.
 
This pattern is by Sarah Vedeler
and
only avaliable as a PDF at a cost of 60$
 
I have guilt selling my pattern at 10$ and that is a printed version!!
 
I finally bit the bullet
 
(good thing we have gun laws in Canada...keep reading...)
 
 
 
 
 
 
I took my download to Staples to save some money on printing....
 
I NEVER realized there was HUNDREDS of pages!!!!
 
I had sticker shock when the girl said it would be 350$!!!
 
All I could say was NO..NO...NO...NO...NO....
 
I can't have a quilt pattern worth that kind of money...my husband is going to shoot me!!
 
This is just the pattern...the templates are this thick too!!
 
After some serious negotiating, I settled with Staples for a fraction of that.
(Thank you, Staples)
 
I take full responsibility as I didn't go through it page by page.
 
I knew it was a 12 month block quilt.
 
 
NEEEVERR dreamed it was 300 pages with a dab of color on every page!!
 
 
PDF Pattern...60$
 
Printing at Staples.....50$
 
25 YARDS of Fabric.....300$
 
Batting and Quilting.....200$
 
Mental strain....Priceless
 
 
I will be lucky if my husband does apply for a gun licence!!!
 
I may need to go into hiding..
 
anyone know a warm cave with good lighting??
 
Christa
