We who quilt are so fortunate because we have teachers and resources who meet us where we are. Eleanor Burns and Jenny Doan have been immensely helpful to newer quilters and beginners. With their instruction and methods you can get pleasing results quickly. For some of us these techniques are enough to create a lifelong passion. For others their teaching becomes a springboard to more complexity. I like Jenny's analogy to 'McDonald's'. We all go there from time to time (I love their senior coffee and I love the price) but I also love other places-just like my 'quilting instructors'. One of the things I do when I see some of the MSQC videos is to make a sample block right then and save it and the instructions. After all, they are designed to be quick.
