Throughout her career Margaret has taught the idea of “reach for the unexpected” in each quilt that you make; make it a little bit different than the last ones you have completed—in the complexity of design, in the way the design changes as your eye roams across the surface, in the number of colors and/or values you use in a given project. Her mantra on color is, “never use two fabrics when you can use twenty”!!

Known for combining sets of quilt blocks in innovative—but doable—ways, Margaret shares her knowledge in her “Smashing Sets for Sampler Blocks” book.

Margaret teaches with humor, enthusiasm, and sincere encouragement of quiltmakers at all levels of skill and experience. She encourages quilters at whatever stage they are, to “reach for the unexpected” in their quilts. and assists students in achieving things they didn’t know they could.

Easy Pieces: Creative Color Play with Two Simple Quilt Blocks was published by C & T Publishing (Lafayette, CA) in September 1998, and Smashing Sets: Exciting Ways to Arrange Quilt Blocks in fall of 2000. At the International Quilt Market in Houston, she launched her AnglePlay™ Templates, for rotary cutting the elongated triangle shape with perfect piecing results. The book AnglePlay Blocks (C & T Publishing) was introduced, as well as a design CD (with 309 AnglePlay™ blocks) produced by Electric Quilt Company, called EQ5 AnglePlay Blocks.

The templates are available in sets, including design booklets with patterns for 3 quilts and 21 blocks.
