  9. Amanda,
    Thanks for sharing the open heart pattern, it has made a great gift and was easier than it looked to do.

    • All the folded books are as easy! Don’t be afraid by complex shapes, folding is always two folds on a sheet. It’s making the pattern that can be hard ;-)

  22. Thank you for sharing, Going to try this, could you possibly let me know if you start at beginning of the book or the middle? Read some start at end and some in middle.

    • Folded sheets take more space and become quickly bulky, so I always start at the begining. eAnd it’s nicer to fold the sheets the same way.
      Read the F.A.Q. at the end of the post to adapt the pattern to your book’s number of sheets.

    But, I just thought that I would let you know that I (I think there is) a mistake on sheet 71, where it says mark 1 is 68,8 – which I’m sure it cant be ;) – to everyone else, dont let this put you off, this is a great design which even though is half unfinished in my hands at the moment is looking absolutely beautiful so far if I do say so myself, even though this is my first time trying book folding :D
