She did have that effect on people, didn't she.
And yet her work was meticulous, creative, colorful, and surprisingly easy to understand.
She didn't demand the 1/4 inch seam rule, but that did NOT mean she accepted slap dash piecing. She knew that whatever your own PPM was (PPM=your personal private measurement as near a 1/4 inch seam as you were comfortable), as long as you used it throughout your whole quilt it would work just fine!!! Don't believe it? Try it some time.
