I like Freddy Moran's approach to coordinating fabrics. She says if 10 are good together, 100 are better. She's got to be the Queen of Scrap and I really like her work. She likes to put black accents in her quilts; polka dots, stripes, plaids,etc, and it's very striking. :mrgreen:

I can do it so quickly now that I don't mind it but boy do I miss those tools when I am at my Dad's......LOL!
What kind of clamps? This sounds really interesting. Getting down on all fours to pin a quilt is getting harder and harder.
I bought 2 sets of these clamps and boy I have to say they are the best investments I ever made and my back loves me for it......LOL!

The nice thing about these clamps is that they open really wide so they would fit the side of just about any table.

For me it is the squaring up. So tedious and than for some reason there is always one block that is off by 1/2 in. Don't know why, can't figure that one out.

I love every aspect of quilting usually but lately it's the sandwiching - getting the backing to lay flat and then to be straight and all...

I am with you on this! I machine quilt, and it seems that it takes me longer to do all of this than putting it all together. I keep looking - how many more 'rows' or panels to do :shock:
I used to feel that way, then I got my Flynn system. I quilted a queen size quilt in 7 hours. 7 hours, how crazy fast is that??
I know this is off topic but have been debating on buying the flynn system is it hard to load and how easy is the learning process

snipping all the threads and FINALLY quilting it without puckering the backing!

Washing and pressing the fabric before cutting. Usually I never wash my fabrics for my quilts. I HATE pressing yardage and trying to get it all straight so I get a straight grain.
Oh, and binding. I really really hate binding.

HAHAHA - we are all fussing about different aspects of quilting - but, admit it - we all LOVE it and will continue to make quilts until we DIE!
