Low, I love the colours, especially the mix of brights and more subtle tones.
May I ask how do you mark the quilt prior to quilting?

Thank you Ploshy and Pearl. I do mainly straightline quilting, by hand , big stitch with perle thread. I mark it in sections with a frixion pen which irons out. If I do curves I use a template or a stencil and again use frixion pens.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!
, but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.
