Don't know, never tried it! This will be my first attempt.

I would either make tissue paper tear aways or use Golden Thread paper.

Yes, I am sure it will be hard to stay consistent, especially since I am new at this. I will definitely try out this paper method, it sounds like it might be good for me.

Yes I think I will. This is only my second quilt, so I am still learning and experimenting. I want to know what happens when I wash one... plus if I use this quilt I am going to have to wash it anyway because my dogs see using a lap blanket/quilt as an open invitation for lap time. I will definitely use a color catcher with it, since there is a wide range of colors. I will keep this method of marking in mind as well!

Thanks!
