    Has anyone used Betty Cotton's Cotton Theory. We saw it demo'd at the Dallas quilt show today. It is a little confusing to me. Just wondered if anyone else had conquered this new qayg

    It's much easier than it looks, it only took me a couple of tries and had it down pat. I love doing Cotton Theory.

    It is similar to fun and done but leaves a little flap on one side and also is reversible. Google a search and you will find her website.

    Wow...Karen's quilt is beautiful. I have only done table runners and didn't like the stiffness once finished. However, it is a very fun technique and gives a very durable finished project. I've washed the tablerunners many, many times and they still look brand new. I couldn't imagine the weight of a quilt done that way(LOL).
