You gave me away, LOL! Yes, Mary Ellen Hopkins techniques all the way, including the setting triangles instructions I use.
She was a major factor in the strip piecing-speed piecing innovation that occured in quilting in the late 1970s/early 1980s. Her teaching methods, which were the first I learned, have served me so well inl my 30 years of quilting, that I rarely have come across a pattern that I can not draw/graph out/alter-in-size/or create in a some simpler way.
I adore her as a person, too.
Thank all of you for your kind responses to my first post under this topic.
