I have thought of hiring out to create patterns, if anyone is interested they can PM me.

Would it help if I took photos along each step? I have no more quilts to make this year, but could do a photo of something else to show the technique. If I do this, I would probably post it in the Tutorial section. When I first started this thread I just wanted to share a completed project and hadn't planned to do a tute.

I have found it is better to use a heavy fusible, and to test the fabric before doing anything to see how easily it unravels. The red quilt needed to be trimmed even after it was pressed onto the background, I think becuase it was a lower thread count fabric (remember, I am cheap).
