    How many people can a new quilter "infect" while she is contageous? Honestly, it's like the POX (but GOOD!)

    Do quilts always need a an inner and outer border or any border at all? What would determine that?

Does this help?
    I thought of doing just that. Glad to know that I others have made this same goof.

    What is the best way to spray adhesive and sandwich a quilt when there is only one person doing the spraying and smoothing?
