Hmmmm Jan...let me see....I sewed the top fabric strip for the scallops onto the pre-quilted tri rows..(starting with the sides, then top, then bottom) I marked after sewing the strip all the way around so I could mark the corner properly. After marking the scallops on the top, I whip stitched a strip of batting to the batting on the tri row- all the way around. THEN..I put the backing on so that it was all one piece, basted all 3 layers together, THEN cut the scallops. Did I get all your questions?

Thank you so much Patti!! It seems so easy until you acually start to do it, then things get over whelming as to what to start first. I will cut the pieces now and hopefully get sewing on it tomarrow. Thanks again, you are a life saver or quilt saver!!

Oh gosh...I know the feeling well! I was sailing along until I got to this point and thought...oh man.....WHOA! Sit down, breath and think it through...it is a bit scary after a years worth of work!

Janstar

OK, I beavered away all day and am up to making the backing. Probably will have to piece it but that's alright. Then will have to buy some fabric for the binding. That's too bad huh? LOL!! Sorry for being a bother to you for all the directions Patti but they really helped me out tremendously!! I thank you once again! You are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALL my tri's are done. i have 8 more blocks to do of the center blocks. using the tut's of 'that quilt'. just figured and studied 2--I5, and h6. will worry about the next ones when i get these done. still have to do the 4 corner blocks. i would never have thought it possible for ME to do this quilt. software, 'that quilt', and YOU ALL. other wise, i would never have gotten this far. Thank you, thank you.
