Why mousie, Thank You!
I have been using only my scraps so far and didn't intend to buy anything new for this quilt. So far, so good...
Patti---thanks for this tip. I used it last night to start on block 21(?) and I am much happier. I'm still having problems getting the fit right (I'm not using a pattern or template ) so by the time I stitch down one side, I'm sometimes kinda short on the other...I guess it takes practice.
I'm not doing any of the embroidery as I'm saving these to work on when my sisters and I go on vacation next month. They think I'm crazy, but I know I'll need something to do in the evenings or early mornings.
