I cut the 6 in strips all around the quilt top and fleece. I knotted them. No quilting at all. I was hung with the rest of the group projects the next day. I won second place! I about fainted. That quilt is still on my uncle's recliner. He washes it a lot as his dog is always on it. It's funny to see it in the washing machine, it separates like a balloon but goes right back together in the dryer. I had to retie the knots to double knots after the show. I didn't have time before turning it in. There is always a solution, don't get bogged down with have tos and rules.
Good for you and your quick thinking! I love your not getting bogged down. I’ve already broken “rules” and I’m happy with the results. I am beginning to go down that road. Thank you for your encouragement and response.
