Susieqoh, i remembr back in the late '70's, looking thru a magazine and seeing one of Jinny Beyer's first quilts. It was called Ray of Light. it was marvelous! she told in the articcle that she was ambidexterous, She said it was helpful becuse something has spilled on her quilt and she needed it for a contest. She cut and sewed everything by hand and using templates. I still do on times. I'm into hexies and EPP. if you haven't tried it, you must. it's addicting.
