A few months ago, I asked a question regarding marking quilts. I had used a pencil to mark, and then changed my mind. After much help and advice from many of you, I decided to finish my wallhanging. I call it "Learning Lessons", because I learned to never mark my quilt til I'm sure of the design, and never use a pencil except to write notes to myself. Anyway, here's the finished product, it will hang in my sewing room to remind me of lessons learned.

i believe that entitles a whole bunch of us to say - TOLD YOU SO!!!

we knew from the start it was going to end up wonderfully. so, picture us sipping our smug mugs of coffee and giggling.

Hi: Great job! Noticed your remark regarding using pencils for marking. I found pencil lead that can be used in any standard .5mm mechanical pencil called Ultimate Marking Pencil for Quilters & Crafters. This is supposed to never smear, fit stencil openings and it washes out. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I bought it and the packet doesn't give any info about the manufacturer. Can't wait to try it out

Nice!

It is a bit hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like you hand quilted it. I always use the air soluble marking pens when I an hand quilting, They work well for me.
