I wonder if we are all talking about the same "middle"? I consider the middle to be the center of the quilt. I wonder if some of these replies are talking about starting to quilt in the middle of a side rather than in the center of the quilt. For those of you starting in the center of the quilt, it might help to mention how you are burying or tying off the thread ends. (When starting in the middle of a side, there is no need to bury ends because they are at the edge of the quilt.)
Just label me confused.
