I am not sure what the Dina Pappas method is. :) The pattern is from a House of White Birch booklet called Quilting Watercolor by Number. Very simple technique and so far no problems. Cutting lots of 3.5 inch squares then folding some of them in 1/2 diagonally and placing over others to create the color effect in the Floral Starburst that I am making. I'd be interested in seeing your quilts Alaskasunshine and learning more about her method. :)
