Nancy Messuri is a self-employed Idaho-based quilt designer. Foundation paper piecing is her go-to method of constructing blocks and Electric Quilt 8 is her favorite design platform. Her trademark is intricate designs that require careful piecing, but she sometimes breaks out of that mold with a less complex design when the mood strikes.
