However, I will say that this did not really work for me. I didn't like any of her sampler-style patterns that give specific instructions about block types and placement, so I decided to go for the more free-form approach. Mistake! I ended up with a fairly hot mess and a lot of leftover pieces that are mostly too small to go back into the scrap bins. I just think this approach does not suit my working style and I felt more frustrated than freed. ( )
