I can't seem to find a good method of transferring the pattern to dark background fabrics. Anyone wish to share their favorite method? I plan on doing mostly needle-turn, and for the pointy pieces will use freezer paper on top of the piece for a guide. I have a lightbox-will that work with black background fabric?
Thank you all for posting your pix-soooo much gogeous inspiration!
Welcome jillmc. I have a light box and it works fine on my black background. I also use the window at time. I find a washable white wax pencil shows up the best and it washes out easily. I can't wait to see your blocks. Are you making them the same size as the book or are you enlarging the blocks?
