Ladies of the olden days---------------I like the classic patchwork patterns best.

I prefer traditional blocks that I make into quilts (if I can, I use EQ7, but for many quilts graph paper works).

I have taken some classes and so have a few quilts where I actually followed a pattern (but no where near the color scheme).

Paula Nadelstern, Kaffe Fassett, Jinny Beyer.

Florine JOhnson, finally!
