I have quilted with a church group around a floor frame for quite a few years. I found that it came quite naturally to quilt in all directions after a little practice. Be sure to mark the quilt before you put it on the frame because it is easier to mark on a hard surface. We quilt on Monday mornings and I find it is my favorite part of the week as we laugh and visit while we quilt. How nice to provide the comfort of a quilt to those who need comfort do much.
