Your quilt is very pretty!

they are available in the hair care section of most drug and variety stores.
They are much cheaper than the bicycle clips sold for this purpose

let me know what you think or if they work for you!!

I think that is a great idea, will be trying it on my next quilt as I nearly drove myself mad with the last one too. It makes sense.

Thanks again

I find it a 'good thing' if I am not doing straight line quilting (to roll it)...just my 2 cents-Skeat

Loretta...is that a quilt in the blizzard (all white):0)LOL I'm sure we will get to see your eye candy soon-I hope:))
