I was a beta tester for a designer's new embroidery designs and instead of doing them on cotton I used denium. Didn't need stabilizer or much less anyway. I had all these gorgeous flowers in different size blocks - they were all wonky. I made up piles of 8", 5" blocks by squaring generously. I put the 8" together in a strip, the 5", the whatever size together. Now, I did these with a wrong side together3/4" seam. This quilt turned out gorgeous and I donated it to a great cause. I did the back in flannel and boy was it heavy.
