She has been researching Nancy Cabot patterns, and making them in modern colors.

Personally, I got bored very quickly with the wonkiness, no straight lines quilting. Through Faith's website, I tried a few star blocks and had success and kind of got hooked. I love stars and any star type block. I love how they come together at the end. I started paper piecing after this, but that might just be a bridge too far for this ADD woman!
So I make traditional patterns in bright modern colors! I adore bright blocks with white sashing! I think that's my favorite!
