The 8 things are: #1 String blocks using a paper foundations. #2. String blocks using a cloth foundation, #2 Using glue to baste the sandwich together. #4 Using decorative stitches to set off the blocks. (this was a bit tricky), #5 QAUG with fold over, #6, FMQ, #7 using stencils laid over blocks with paper patterns over each area, #8 fold over and machine stitched binding. ( I will go back to hand stitching on the finish I did not like this at all). Most of these things I became comfortable doing and will do again a couple I most likely will let them fall by the wayside.
