What did you think of the process?

Pretty, Pretty, Pretty......Rhonda's method of Drunkard path is so much easier. I'm working on a small one myself. It's a doll quilt size. I expected to be working on it for a while, but it went quickly. Love, love, love Rhonda's method.

This was Batik fabric, but yes, the stiffer the Batik, the easier it was to do the Yo-yo. Stupid me, the first 4 (the centers), I cut the circle into quarters and then sewed them on individually. Then a bolt of lightning went through my brain and I sewed the yo-yo onto a larger square, and then cut the whole thing into quarters. Massive time savings with that one switch. Not to mention the improved accuracy of the stitching!
You can iron over sizing or heavy starch while it's still wet. I wouldn't wait overnight. Too impatient.

But each to your own! What works for one may or may not work for another quilter. I did spray my last ones and let them set for about 4 hrs and then used them and they were good and stiff.
