Carol Doak is my pp idol. Took classes from her, bought her dvd which is the way to go if you ant be with her in person. She also has a yahoo group with tons of info, challenges, swaps, pattern, BOMs etc. I dont think any pp pattern of hers is hard. All the same method just different size pieces. One think I really like about Carols oatterns is she tells you how big to cut pieces so you dont waste fabric or undercut. I must say though that I cut pieces a little bigger and if a piece says for example something and follows with some 8th (i.e. 2 7/8 or 5/8 etc) I cut up to the next whole number. Dont like dealing with eighths. Just my quirk.
