Thank you for the welcome . I had in the past never used a patern to make quilt tops but a few years ago I started one for my grandbaby and I had made a cardboard cut out and used it to make a design and then cut the material and I applied it to a flat twin sheet and here and there I work on it I used buttons to anchor the center of each patch and then stuffed each one now I am closing them up I am going to try to get a picture and post it and see what everyone thinks of it and maybe get some advice.
