Wow, I found this tutorial just wonderful.. I am so new to this. It seemed like a good idea if your backing was large enough. I made this quilt top at a Homemaker's Camp in Monticello, IL and I had planned to use a plain muslin. I had a piece just the right size (maybe 2" larger all around and it is a matching piece of one of the squares) and when I put them together it looked like it should work but I had never seen it or heard anyone talk of this. THANK YOU so much. I can't wait to get started. I am going to get proficient with my computer some day and put the finished picture up to share with you. Again, thanks, I think you helped me more than you know. Jeanne from Illinois
