Finally the quilt is talking!!!! The idea of the mountain and trees with swirling wind is perfect! I cannot tell you how awe struck I am at all your comments. I have been in a quilting funk for some time because of this quilt. I cannot wait to put it on the Mid arm and get it done! Tweety2911 I bought some acrilic plastic from Home Depot about 24x48 to use as my see through work table practicing on my quilts. I use visa vis pens and it works great I just could not come up with something that would work for it. I really do appreciate all your comments they are so encouraging!!!
