I have never made one, but when I first started doing longarm quilting, I was given a Trip Around the World quilt to do and I was super surprised how it turned out. It was polyester top and a brand new sheet for the back. I am sure the quilt shop owner gave it to me to do because no one else would take it on. I put out some freezer paper and took my Sharpie and drew a meandering design on it to follow like a pantograph. That way, I was able to just quilt and not worry about where the seams in the quilt were. The quilt shop owner, and her customer, loved the job and I was soooo proud of myself for being brave enough (or stupid enough) to do this project.
