More About the Author
Grandma Garrison was Nancy's mentor while she made her first quilt in 1972. Gram asked her to cut a 6-inch square template from paper and pin it on some fabric. Using regular scissors, quite dull, Nancy cut around the paper template. After cutting about two dozen squares, she noticed some of the squares were not the same size. Nancy called Gram and said, "My blocks don't seem to be the same size." Gram replied, "Are you cutting any of the paper template off when you cut around it?" Nancy replied, "No, only once in a while!" That was Nancy's first lesson in accuracy and it has stuck with her all these years. Today her hallmark is accuracy, and she stresses it with students and attributes the wide recognition of her work to its continued emphasis.
She has written several best-selling books, including Featherweight 221: The Perfect Portable, and Rotary Magic. Nancy also refined how to work with squares and rectangles in her other best-selling books Block Magic; Block Magic, Too!; and Stars by Magic. Recently she was granted a U.S. patent for her innovative technique used for making Eight-Point Stars from squares and rectangles.
Nancy has been a spokesperson and consultant for Omnigrid, a division of Prym Consumer USA, Inc., for over eighteen years.
Her hobbies include reading mysteries, traveling to see children and grandchildren, working in her flower gardens (they keep expanding), and making baby quilts for charity. In recent years she has donated over 600 quilts to brighten the lives of needy children and parents. Nancy lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, Frank.

4.0 out of 5 stars
rotary math,
By susan (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Measure the Possibilities with Omnigrid(c) (Paperback)
I also got this book for a class in basic rotary cutting. For the price it's wonderful. She tells you the math formula you need and the layout is realy great. A name, photo, formula, hints for cutting, etc. all on one page for each shape. And the star patterns in the back are beautiful. I wish she included some of the shortcuts though, like sewing 2 squares together, drawing a line on the diagonal and sewing 1/4 inch from line on both sides then cutting to make 2 half trianges...it would make the book so much more useful. I paid $$$ just for a pamphlet on what size to cut for what finished size...this one tells you the formula and includes some projects as well. I give it a 4 for content and value. Beginners would gain the most from it.

Excellent Book,

This review is from: Measure the Possibilities with Omnigrid(c) (Paperback)
I teach rotary cutting and HIGHLY recommend this book as I teach out of it. Sure there may be easier ways to make half-square triangles, but is the best rotary cutting reference book I have seen in all my years of quilting.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Quilters will love this book,

This review is from: Measure the Possibilities with Omnigrid(c) (Paperback)
I was delighted to find this book still in print. I had bored it from a friend of mine and wanted one of my own because of all the quick reference material contained within it. The book came in excellent condition.
