Put several quilts in the middle, fold the two velcro corners in on top of the quilts and pick up the other two corner with the dowel rod handles. I use to have a pattern but can't find it. Once you seen one you can make one. I'll try and get a picture at next guild meeting.
I'll be watching for a picture, or even a diagram, as this sounds perfect. It'd be helpful, though, to know how big an initial square you suggest to start with, etc. Might be a good use for bed sheets that aren't nice enough anymore to use for backing.
Thanks for posting.
