I know...I just can't explain it Lesley. Anyway, I am going to try a trapunto design today. The only thing I am worried about is how much it might "drawn up" (shrink) the long border. I guess that I could always add a little cheater piece on the end if that happens or add a teeny bit larger tri at the ends to make it work better if it draws up too much to fit properly. I'll give it a try today to see.
Good for you Blinky! I think you will like playing with the software, not to mention how helpful it will be in making the quilt!
