As far as fm the design your wanting to. You can premarital the spots you want the kites to be at with maybe a chalk mark, and when you get to one, or near enough, do it......just keep moving and it will begin to flow for you....don't put yourself on super speed, take it slower....
OMHO, great advice from
Geri B. The only thing I do differently is the yard sticks. I started off using yard sticks but as I advanced the quilt I would always "drop" the stick on the floor. I bought two old fashion cheap white curtain rods (the ones that are about 3/4" wide that come out from the wall and are adjustable). One for each side. The bent ends of the rods catch my take up and supply roller, do not fall off and easily slide into place.
