Casually off-grain

I was fortunate enough to buy this book from the author at one of her classes at the Pacific International Quilt Festival. What a relief to discover that the practice of rigidly matching plaids and stripes that is part of fashion sewing can be tossed out the window in quilt making. In fact, having plaids and stripes "casually off-grain" in a quilt block can make the finished quilt more appealing to the eye and can add movement and excitement to the quilt.
