I had added the block, then quilted it on and then realized it was upside down. So instead of removing the whole thing, I just unpicked the top stitching, the backing from the block and rotated it. Then I stitched it from the front and did the top stitching from the backside because it wasn't so nice. (did that make sense??)<br /><br />Anyhoo--your method helped me fix a problem I had today. Thanks a lot!!Dahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17096607024126010121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-79870261055075770392012-08-12T06:30:29.449-04:002012-08-12T06:30:29.449-04:00Wowie, it's good you explain so well, I think ...Wowie, it's good you explain so well, I think I can need this knowledge in the near future as I'm going to put together my white patchwork blanket ;-)<br />I love your cleaned studio... and fully understand you get inspired to start with the fabrics again.aniet67.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08368945399758651506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-5200902810027750802012-08-12T06:27:26.070-04:002012-08-12T06:27:26.070-04:00Have you checked out Betty Cotton's method cal...Have you checked out Betty Cotton's method called The Cotton Theory?

I love your studio, style, and color choices. Not sure I understand the QAYG but probably won't until I actually try it, would you say blocks made with prints are best for this method?carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551031050575078402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-26233385329785416042012-08-11T13:08:34.043-04:002012-08-11T13:08:34.043-04:00OH, yes!

I like that the blocks are just butting up against each other, no globbing of seam allowance.

Then go ahead and finish from the back as you said. You'd have to leave the seam allowance on the top, of course, with batting on one of the blocks.<br /><br />Maggie in ArizonaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-11787060496292690522012-08-11T09:51:20.388-04:002012-08-11T09:51:20.388-04:00I don't quite understand but.....I'm thril...I don't quite understand but.....I'm thrilled that you're going to quilt for awhile!!!Susan Turneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864635774677436375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-60080106746778036522012-08-11T09:21:41.811-04:002012-08-11T09:21:41.811-04:00If you want to learn this technique from the maste...If you want to learn this technique from the master you should get Sharon Peterson's books - Reversible Quilts and More Reversible Quilts.
