A Bonnie Hunter pattern from String Fling Cotton front and back/poly batting 90" x 104" Finished 2016
I am new to quilting but learning fast. Can anyone tell me the best way to make a wall hanging for my granddaughter with her horse show ribbons. What to use for foundation of the quilt? What kind of batting should I use? All help would be appreciated.
I'm new to this so please bear with me! Does anyone have Maggie Walker's old design called "Shell Collection"? I will take all the patterns, partial pattern, half-finished kit, anything. It is shown in the new Sampler magazine, but no one carries it any more and I love it!! Thanks much!!

I put my seams on it and iron on top of the curve to get a really flat seam like when you add a boarder ...
