AnotherPat's General Directions are methods that I have used, successfully, over the years.  They are shortcuts and/or tips.  The directions should not be used when making a quilt for a Quilt Show.  Quilt Show entries require specific directions and vary from entry to entry.
Hope you can find a tip or two which will make the process go a little faster --- so that you can have more time to make more quilts...Pat Tribbey
