woody-I am going to do a few trial blocks-thougth I would start with the size in the book. What size do you recommend? I most likely won't be doing the really wide border.
thimblebug-yes, I watched mrquilt's video! Looks almost too good to be true! :-) Have you used his toulle (sp?) method? I don't recall ever seeing a silver sharpie anywhere!
dolphyngyrl-I will look for transfer paper...makes me a ~little~ nervous that your markings are still there after 3 yrs!
