Again, great information for us "begining quilters". I learned paper piecing and have done 25 log cabin blocks that way, then the Cotton Method. Still have to finish assembling. Will try the Eleanor Burns method next. Looks like something I can handle. I was told to pre-wash my fabrics, but now I have seen it might be better not to. Read that it isn't smart to use normal spray starch on quilts because of the "food" content. So I guess I will quit prewashing. Thanks again all of you experienced people!!!!
