after meticulouslly marking my 1/4 inch seam and many times not having blocks measure out right, I took some of your ideas about using a scant 1/4 inch seam and it works much better. Thank you. You'er never too old to learn a new trick.

I drove a two hour round trip to the city today to a new quilting shop which I have just discovered, to be informed they did not stock hand quilting thread!.... I was amazed! No call for it these days the lady behind the counter said, not enough people hand quilt to warrent stocking it!
Am I in the minority then? Guess I must be!
Yes, I know I could have phoned on ahead ........but I had to check out their fabrics didn't I?

Also hand quilting needle do wear out. They seem to get hot and bend.
