Eli X. ★★★★★

I love how each of the eight blocks tells a unique story about a First Lady, and having both 12" and 6" sizes gives me so many project options. The patterns are clear and easy to follow.

Scarlett ★★★★★

The 12" block size was perfect for my skill level, and I loved reading about Martha Washington while stitching her tribute. The historical notes really add depth to the quilting process.

Owen ★★★★★

The 6" blocks are perfect for a small sampler project, and having both sizes in one pattern is a nice bonus. I loved reading the historical notes about each First Lady while I stitched—it made the whole experience feel more meaningful.
