So I spent about 3 days marking a meander pattern all over the top of my log cabin. Now I've spent a couple of days quilting it- and all of the white marking pencil that I used on top of the dark fabric has disappeared. The light fabrics are still well marked but all everything that was on top of the dark fabric is gone. I realize that the fact that it's a meander pattern means that I should be able to, well, just meander. But I really like to just follow a line when I quilt, and not have to figure out what to quilt as I go. Also, if I tried to do that, the marks on the light fabric would really mess with my head. I worked really hard to even make my own stencil for this and it took me forever to mark it... rrrrr!
