I had used the tablecloth for layout for ages, but the cardboard tube felt like a stroke of genius. Since then I've heard of other people doing the same thing with a pool noodle.
Oh, and your quilt is gorgeous You're making amazing progress; I can't wait to see it finished! Have you thought how you're going to quilt it yet?

Jennifer 23 - that is a fabulous idea!!!!! Thank you so much ... you know what's even funnier? I used to do puzzles, and I had a felt piece for my puzzles ... you would think I would have thought of that!
I will definitely be buying some fuzzy fabric in the near future!
I don't know if I'm going to quilt it or if I'm going to have my friend quilt it. There is a member on here - Krista - who lives in my city, and does long arm quilting. She's done about 5 or 6 of my quilts, and does a fabulous job.
I don't like free motion (OK, I'm horrible at it LOL), and I think this one is just too big (it will be 96x96 when I'm done) to do on my sewing machine. I have a fabulous machine, just don't like quilting with that big of a quilt. Too bulky, and I get frustrated when I have to stop and go all the time.

I pieced this quilt top in less that 2 months! I was completely shocked that it went together that quickly! I'll be dropping it off at the quilter's next week... can't wait to see what they do with it! I'd love to see a picture of your progress also. Your fabrics are so pretty!

Nice job Auntierah09! I wish I could have had it done in two months!!! Between working all day, and then working my dog, I only have about 3 hours a day to quilt LOL ...
There are lots of pictures in this thread - it's my thread, I started it, so if you start at the beginning you'll see the progress!
I'm finishing mine differently though ... I am going to make it square ... so all my stars will finish off!!!!
