I took a workshop using Sharon Pederson's book, "Reversible Quilts"
http://www.amazon.com/Reversible-Qui...0528558&sr=1-1
Go to your local library branch and get this through their interlibrary loan program (free) - you can really learn a lot without having to buy a new book!
Although the title says "reversible" the concept is the same. I love this method much better than the Cotton Method which I tried a couple of times and just didn't like the seam finishes - a matter of tastem for sure!
Once you get the concept down, which is not too hard, you can just fly through these projects. It is SOOOO nice to get to the "end" of making a quilt top and finding that you just have to do the binding.
