That's been off the air for quite a few years but I loved that show.... she had so many guests that showed so many fabulous quilting ideas and techniques.
As nanna up north said, I did basically the same thing. My LQS years ago had a $5 class on how to use them and I signed up. Took me over two years to finish piecing my GFG. I used a package of Quilt Patis. They are on the expensive side but the you are not needing to deal with getting the paper out as with paper piecing.
Recently there have been some fun posts that have been interesting with technique and designs on this site regarding hexes. I too miss the show Simply Quilts. It was the best informative show on quilting with a list of who's who's in the quilting industry.
