I am sure that as you become involved in making more and more quilts you will never cease for things to do--merely the time to do them in. One project leads to another. Our minds run rampant with new and innovative ideas on how to use our quilting tools to mani[iulate fabric. One of the features of modern day quilting is that many people have devised tools which make quilting go faster, as well as easier to begin that first quilt. My grand mother, who lived in Kentucky, had only scissors, graphite pencils, needles, rulers, and a treadle machine. My mother would watch me with rotary cutters, and other tools of the modern trade. "Oh, what my mother would have given to have had those tools!. The internet is one more tool we, who are living today, have at our disposal to pick up on other methods to produce our masterpieces. WE are fortunate.
