This definitely sounds like Bonnie Hunter. She describes her methods in a 2005 blog:

I really like her blog, and she is a Gwen Marston fan; of whom I am also a fan.
Their approach to quilting (and Freddy Moran's color philosophy) strikes me as pure joy; and
more in keeping with how quilters in the "early days" created their quilts.
