Thanks Moonpi. I think I understand what you are talking about. What is a stabilizer though? I just picked up quilting a few years ago and most of what I know is self taught. I learn quickly when shown something but telling me something somehow some gets lost in the translation. I can look at a picture and see what has to be done but reading directions throws me a loop. I will wait and see what she brings me. I just was wondering if you sash them or just sort of cut to fit. Luckily for me she only wants a good size throw and not a big quilt.
