I never did internalize that old KISS concept - you know, ‘keep it simple, Stupid.” For whatever reason, I tend to design quilts with small pieces that take some time to complete. It’s not that my patterns are difficult, but they are not the kind you finish in a day. Being a predominantly scrappy quilter, I guess I just like that look. I want to use ALL the fabric and to do that, I need to use smaller pieces. The great Freddy Moran said, “When it comes to fabric, more is better and excess is never enough.”
