You're welcome. Let us know how it works for us. With the 16 oz bottle use 1 c of StaFlo and then fill with water.

I buy Sta-Flo starch in 1/2 gal jugs and mix it 50/50 or 75/25 depending on how stiff I need my material to be.

Beautiful quilt and I really like the the older look of it. Civil War fabrics have always been a favorite. Thank you for posting, I signed up for their email list

So excited to get started on this quilt! I used Retayne on the dark fabrics first. I've starched my first batch of fabrics, now just waiting for it to dry halfway before ironing.

Christine, I think your fabrics are going to make a beautiful quilt!

I've got 35 blocks done, only 700 more to go! :p I'm hoping to find someone who is interested in trading blocks for this quilt.

Christine, beautiful quilt for one who has patience’s of a Saint! Don’t you love working with a variety of colorful fabrics? I made two nine patch quilts but they weren’t set on point. I enjoyed the pleasure of the “mindless” sewing! Excellent choice of quilt!

Thanks MaryLee. I bought a 1/4" quilting foot with a guide on it for my Bernina and that has made a huge difference in the seams matching dilemma of tiny blocks. I held out for so long on getting this foot, thinking I didn't need the guide but I'm amazed at how accurate my seams are now. I can sew mindlessly now with the guide on there!

Plus I bought a 3 tier stand to hold my strips next to my sewing machine. It's so handy to have them organized by size right there.

I have 280 blocks made now. That's about 1/3 of what I need to make a queen size quilt. I'll need about 750 blocks.
