Sharon Shamble, I just finished a Ginny Beyer table topper in Sharons method of putting the top, batting and backing together together with boards, I did not have boards I used 3 foot rulers, My table topper went together perfect , 60 degree angles, and hand basting, I always use pins and my husband thinks I am so smart , it turned out beautiful , I am so blessed I am taking a class with her at quilting at the LAKE IN JANUARY LEARING HOW TO DO FEATHERS, CAN'T WAIT, SO EXCITED, :D :lol: :thumbup:
