Thank you for your replies. It is just so reassuring when I hear from other quilters and their ideas. (particularly quilters that have far more experience then me!)
I have been meandering around so there aren't as many thread ends to deal with.
And, Prism, what a treat. The site you suggested is wonderful. I love all of the video tutorials. She makes it look soooo easy.
Oh, well, it's like they keep saving----practice, practice, practice, :mrgreen:
