Lynne makes the most stunning designs with many different colours (she does love batiks, which I could take or leave, though they Are highly effective in this medium), and then different shaped windows, which gives movement and interest and are amazing!!
The author has made the book extremely easy to read - very light and conversational - she gives little snippets of advice here and there - this one is a GEM:

Oh I have this book too! Great ideas and prjects in there. I made a small wall hanging of the classic catedrals, lots of hand sewing, but really great finish. Can't wait to see your!
Your cathedral window looks beautiful! I'm looking forward to seeing the king-sized quilt ;)
