We just made this pattern as a wedding gift for my husbands sister. It turned out beautifully and everyone loves it. I think the design is it quite simple but does not give the appearance of a beginner product. We made it to a 12" size which seems perfect to be hung either in a window or in an open spot. We used brighter colors and iridescent glass around the letter which worked out well. I enjoyed working with this patter very much.
