I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

Ok. I'll start with an apology cause i know this has been asked a million times. I have both Synthropol and color catcher. Do i use them both at the same time when washing my Jane Sassaman HC cotton? Also, can i machine dry my fabric afterward? More to the point... is it advisable to machine dry it?Micky in Montana

Yes, you can dry fabrics in the dryer--shake them out flat, not globbed up, and take them out before bone dry--less wrinkles that way. I press them flat to finish drying them--they are almost dry when I take them from the dryer, not wet at all, hardly damp, if that makes sense.

I am having the time of my life . This is way out of my comfort zone but it is eye opening. I’m learning a lot about color which has always been so hard for me. Thank you Alex, For taking time three days a week plus getting everything ready, to make these last few months so much fun! I have never made a mystery quilt and it is so much fun not knowing what it’s going to look like until the end!!!

Alex, thanks for doing the mystery quilt series for all us homebound quilters. I've been quilting since the '70s but not taken any basic classes. What you're doing, sharing how to accurately make these basic blocks and explaining the shortcuts is fantastic. And especially during Covid, doing sessions every other day has kept me involved and learning the correct way to make 6" quilt blocks. You should be sainted!!! :lol: Here's what I've made so far using some old KF fabrics I already had.Donna Carter

I love the way Alex demonstrated flying geese today. Thank you!
Since I have three different books on blocks I just couldn't justify buying the one Alex is using even though it looks wonderful. Today when I found the Sawtooth Star block in one of my books, there was another star next to it, Sarah's Choice. It's the Sawtooth with a pinwheel for the center block. I decided to try that for my second block. I also have been liking the black fabric people have been adding, so thought I'd try that too.
