I just took a class with my guild with Pat Speth- she's the queen (and author) of Nickel Quilts. I haven't been quilting long enough to have scraps for a quilt, but she sure was an inspiration for cutting 5" blocks. Her patterns are awesome and pieced borders even more exciting...all from 5" squares. I like brighter colors than she uses, but it's all about the lights and darks! I would purchase a "G0" just to keep up with scraps!
