I like to draw lines on freezer paper and press it to the back of the fabric. For writing on the fabric, I am a fan of Crayola for Fabric markers, and iron over the inking to set it. Avoid the ones that say Washable because that washes out. Commemoritive quilts I've taken part in were different arrangements of patterns for Slanted Star, and Nine Patch with the writing in the center square. Two of the quilts were begun and tracked on this board, one being for Ashlea Hawkins, and the other for Rodney. Our quilting group took part in signature quilts for two different members who were celebrating 50th wedding anniversaries. One that was a lot of fun was made by 4-H members while at summer camp. Each camper drew a picture and wrote a sentiment.
