Play around moving things until you like what you see. Do not forget to include divding borders between the squares if you are having them. Think about if for a day or two then using small stickers number them so that you can pick it all up a row/section at a time for sewing and not get it all muddled up. Failing that then just go for it!!Indigo Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18045423692916533428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190494273260138593.post-12241405689860134772008-10-17T15:49:00.000-07:002008-10-17T15:49:00.000-07:00Hi!Your blog really inspires me!

You will surprise yourself how easy it will come to you becuase you already do so many things that are so much harder than quilting. I've learned how to quilt by visiting other quilters blogs and reading their tutorials. It's as easy as making the top, making the quilt sandwich (top, batting, backing which someone mentioned using painters tape and taping it to your floor, then safety pin it every 4-6inches so it stays put during quilting) then bind it, wash and dry and you are done.<BR/><BR/>You've got oodles of talent, you can do this :)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04199239034212280881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190494273260138593.post-27479804854416354772008-10-10T18:43:00.000-07:002008-10-10T18:43:00.000-07:00these are darling, that penguin fabric couldn't be...these are darling, that penguin fabric couldn't be any cuter. i'm really digging some light pink with this. maybe even just for the binding.jacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07362229673390519468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190494273260138593.post-14769112563280885152008-10-10T14:57:00.000-07:002008-10-10T14:57:00.000-07:00I really like the Penguin squares.
