Thanks for the great instructions. I have over 20 blocks to sandwich together and than free motion quilt. Then I'll sew them together with your instructions. This friend started this quilt in a class in 1986. All hand appliqued. She got that part done and quit. All I have to do is put it together and quilt. She said in that class she took, it was supposed to be all hand quilted. Since she's glad I'm finishing it, she doesn't mind a bit if I use a sewing machine for pete's sake.!
