    OK, far from perfect (in fact I'm still trying to decide if I can live with some of the mistakes), but the piecing of my second quilt top is done. It'll be much bigger, with lots of negative space to...

    Folding your quilts

    OK, this may seem like a silly question, but do any of you worry about folding your quilts? How do you store them? I tried to look for this in other threads but had no luck, so I'm sorry if it's been...

    Well, that's one advantage of being a dyer: I've always got lots of synthrapol to hand! I'll be sure to pop some in the machine once this second quilt is finished.
