KarenR - I don't understand your question. ??
ckcowl - not sure how to take that comment...
Out of anything I have ever read on quilting, the authors don't seem to agree on how to prepare, cut, iron, sew, or bind a quilt. Or they agree on the basics but there really are not details.
Seems to me there really aren't any "rules" and maybe there doesn't need to be.
Seems to me that what it comes down to is when the end result is what you were going for then how you got there is your recipe.
Yeah, I'm going with that.
