    I just want to say how amazing I think everyone here is! You're always willing to help and the links and tutorials are amazing! I just finished cutting the blocks for a square in a square baby quilt and it only took me a half an hour thanks to this link...

    Thanks for the link. I just love using techniques instead of patterns. They seem to work well for scrap quilts.

    I have Anita Grossman's new book and it is the only quilt book I have bought this year. It is worth buying for the shortcuts.

    Thanks for the link-it's amazing from what I could see. I wonder if there's a similar video on youtube-this video kept stopping about every 3 or 4 seconds and I couldn't get it to load like I can youtube vids (I have a slow connection).

    Anita has a blog, lots of info about her short cuts there.

    http://makeitsimpler.blogspot.com/

    I always check to see if the quilt book author/designer has a blog. Those that don't have a website or blog I don't bother their products.
