Go for it!
i agree with jo whole heartedly! jinney beyer became one of my main sources of hand quilting knowledge when i first started quilting in the mid 80's. here is a link to her page of tips & lessons. there is also a link to her blog on the drop-down menu under "jinney corner" on the header. she doesn't post often, but what she does share on her blog is soooo helpful. i use her block library often. the blocks are available in several sizes & unlike blockbase (which i love & have used since mid 90's) i have never found/encountered error in printing blocks for hand or machine piecing.

found this thread looking for another thread in tutorials. i hand basted a mini quilt yesterday to begin the handquilting of it for one of my winter projects. hope you find info you need! i sooo love my quiet winter days watching the snow fall or the enclosure of coccoon of fog to sit & do needle work <3
