Pick out an 8 or 9 inch square area you want to work on. Now puddle (nest? scrunch?) up some of the quilt around this area so you can move the square freely. Quilt this square and stop at the edge of the area. Stop, readjust the quilt so the adjacent area can move freely and do this section. don't know if this helps.
Exactly! I think it was in a Leah Day video where I first heard to focus on one small area at a time so you don't get lost. It works for me!
