For Weezy Rider and others. I enjoyed your comment about a design for each square, which is traditional, rather that an overall FMQ design or the pantograph look. I like that look also. I always STID my quilts to stabilize them. Then I use a stencil and pounce powder to mark a design on my squares, one or two at a time, and stitch them out. Or, if it is a little more complicated I draw the design on tracing paper, pin it to my quilt and stitch on the line. I don't mind taking out the paper because It provides the medium to get the design I want. Any little bits of paper go away when I wash the quilt-which I always do on completion. I love the traditional look done the modern way.
