Trace off the outlines in your little quilt onto some tissue paper for practice. Make several muslin batting muslin sandwiches the same size. Then you can choose - Either pin the paper to a sandwich, and practice echo quilting sewing right through the paper, or trace the lines with a marker - the ink will travel thgrough the paper into the cloth - and practice sewing quilting patterns on the practice
cloth sandwich.
Forgot to tell you pin it well, or baste it to hold it together -
or spray it.
