Thank you for the compliments. I've been sewing since before I was a teenager but never quilted. I've been working on this one off and on for 6 years, in between renovating 3 houses!
The pencils won't even show up on the lighter background.
No, I doubt I'll use the hoop. The quilt is too bulky.
I'm going to try the Crayola markers first and if that doesn't work, I'll try the freezer paper.
