about Carol Doak patterns

I teach at a local quiltshop and use her free patterns for my beginners classes.  The freezer paper is the best techique as you sew a scant next to the line and NOT on the line so you don't have paper to remove and distort your fabric.  Plus the freezer paper is reuseable and you get the exact block everytime.See More
