Do you have a website?i

i do have a website but its not devoted to quilting at all. the site is devoted to healthy eating and exercise. i used to own a health club in NY and the people on my site are following weight watchers and i help them with exercise rotations and marathon training.

Thanks to everyone for their input. I bought this heavy Pellon fleece at Wall Mart for $3.97 yd.

I read on another site that Joann's has a fusible fleece that's extremely hard to quilt with, so you might stay away from that one.

I'm going to quilt a sample before I use it on my large wall hanging. It will be a great find, if it works!

I quilted a sample with the fusible fleece, and it quilted beautifully! Hope it works as well on my large wall hanging as it did on the sample. :thumbup:

thats good news - i'm sure you'll have the same results on the wall hanging.

don't forget to post pics of the wall hanging when its done.

I can't wait to see it. Most of my projects are bigger but I would like to try it if I make any more wall hangings.

I'm making the wall hanging from a pattern found in Cindy Casciato's Block Explosion. Wall hanging size to queen-size patterns.

With the large scale fabric and fewer blocks, it took me days instead of weeks to assemble. Easy instructions too.

Now, I just have to figure what kind of quilting will look best with large triangles. :?

I'll post it, if it's worth posting. The wall hanging top is larger than I anticipated it was going to be. I had to buy another yard of fleece for the bottom half of the quilt. Yes, the fleece will have to be pieced. :thumbdown:

everything is post worthy - we are all students of our craft.

That is so true.

Klue, Have you ever tried product called Pel-tex in your handbags? I used it for the first time in a bag class I took recently at my LQS. It was very nice to work with!
