Did you have any problems like that?
Don't forget I haven't put the backing fabric on mine yet, in fact it's still on its way here, I only ordered it last week. I wanted mine all in one piece and I'm just going to quilt in the ditch to attach the backing to the top/batting sandwich.

Rachel, I'm doing a different fabric for every block and trying to get as close as possible to Jane's quilt colors. Iv'e been using a FQ for each color so I can cut the plain triangle out of it too. Hope this helps and have fun!

Lesley...thanks for getting back to me on that. I just kept wondering about it. I don't think the blocks need really heavy quilting (just my opinion)...the darn piecing needs to stand out after I worked on it sooo hard :lol: :lol: :lol:
I knew you hadn't added the back yet and the more I thought about it, the more I decided that I didn't care that all the block quilting wouldn't show up on the back...or I might just go ahead and use a back on mine, then just finish it up with the sashing. Hmmm...more to think about. I won't be able to start quilting them until after the IRR is over...I just don't have time right now.
Elle....I'll have to find it, but on this thread somewhere....Lesley posted details about how she is quilting this...it is REALLY helpful! I'll go look for you.

I am dreading taking all that paper off though, any good tips out there, I have got myself an eyebrow plucker to get the little bits off, any other suggestions, I did think about soaking it off and I thought yuck there will be a mess of paper then and I will have to iron them all again.
By the way I have one more block to do and I have finished week 10.
