This way I could clearly see what I had already quilted so I didn't have to worry about crossing lines, etc. After I tried this, it was so easy that I got the feeling that I have to be the last quilter on earth to figure this out.

Quiltung Di, I love love love the quilt in your photo, what is the pattern? I`m new to quilting and I`m not sure if I`m using the right lingo. I love it! Lokks complicated, but to me pretty much all things beautiful look complicated,, I`d better make this short. The other day a lady said I need to go take my `meds` ,, whatever the heck she meant. Thanks for your time!, rosie
