BEWARE of these pens and noted in another post. They will come out with ironing but will re-appear after cooling down. Sound like they never come completely out.

I was watching Sharon Schambers on UTube the other day. She stated that she marks each block as she finishes it!

WOW, before sewing together? Cool, now that would be really easy. That I think I'll do with my next quilt.
Thanks so much!
