wow! i'm so excited i almost fell out of my seat! see, i'm new to quilting. i only have done rag quilts which are very easy. currently, i fell in love with foundation piecing so that is what I'm doing now. but i was worried as to what i was going to do once my blocks were pieced. the thought of venturing into tradtional quilting was scary. but with this method...oh my word...it takes all the anxiety out of the quilting part as well as binding and all that. i'm glad the revision was made about points...as my blocks are 8 1/2 but have points in it. so i'm glad you posted something about that.
