There are lots of things you can quilt in hexagons, flowers, dot to dot, etc.
I am curious about your suggestion of the muslin. This is a tip I have never heard before. What is the reason? I have a Lone Star that I will be finishing sometime this year, it was hand pieced by my great grandmother and I will finish piecing it and quilt it and I need to know if I should treat it this way. (What a run on sentence. Don't tell my English teachers. LOL)
