    Good advice I read on Barbara's blog...

    Barbara made this quote on her blog this morning about her recent retreat:"As the world seems to go crazy we enjoyed the Quilter's life.
    Pure Happiness". I hope we can all look into that vision. I plan to quilt, quilt, and quilt while binge watching past TQS shows. Stay Healthy.

      Barbara, I too have found good tips from the blog as I have been seeing them for months now. Just rewatched the show introducing the 2020 BOM. Having loved the pattern forever, I knew I had to make this quilt. The tips for squaring up and resizing in that show are priceless.

        Sawdust, thanks. I must say, I do believe the idea to make the 7.25" plastic "squaring up" template just might be the smartest thing i have ever come up with in the quilt world! So glad you like it, I know it saved my bacon when I had to square up 40 at once.
