I don't like to watch You Tube videos and would rather read directions either online or in a book (I'm a retired librarian!).
I like the look of KFassett and TPink fabrics but don't buy them. Perhaps they're a little intimidating to me - can't figure out how to incorporate them with the scraps I already have.
I avoid making patterns that require me to make the same segments or blocks over and over again - prefer samplers or medallions. I lose interest after making just a few blocks, thus creating more UFOs.
