Once you are comfortable with my "Blocks" you can see how to construct a lot of traditional patterns using my "Blocks". You can learn to "see" how a pattern would go together using my Bostons or Star Points depending on what quilt block you are looking at. A lot of the traditional piecing with using differant templates to cut out each triangle and square can be intimidating. Once you try my methods you can save yourself a lot of aggravation.
This Card Trick is a case in point. It breaks down nicely into 4 Boston Blocks 4 HSTs and a Combo 4 patch for the center. If you look at traditional quilt blocks you will see alot of them that can be broken down this way.
I do realize my methods aren't for everyone but if they work for you then I am happy to help by sharing.
