Yesterday my club mentor helped me with a strip quilt I was stitching in the ditch. I could not identify the "block. I could find the vertical lines but not the horizontal. My mentor told me to get my 91/2 inch square and start at two inches and keep looking until I find it. I did find it at 12 inches. Having such a helpful mentor is wonderful. It is making all the difference between finding quilting impossible and loving quilting.

I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand the problem.......stitching in the ditch, couldn't identify the block???? Were you hand quilting another's pieced top? Why was it important to know the horizontal? Don't quite follow the ruler process? I am really confused, not hard to do, btw, please someone, what am I missing in this post?
