I used this tutorial (in Dutch but with understandable pictures): http://emmaenmona.blogspot.com/search/label/handleiding%20dekentje<br />I finished my quilt the same way. What does 'bag out' mean? I made mine on my own way, don't know anything about quilting :o)<br />I sewed 4 big squares to hold front and back together.<br /><br />Good luck stitching!<br />CarolienCarolienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206855853111329766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-8373525323165215122011-10-27T18:56:24.588+11:002011-10-27T18:56:24.588+11:00just beautiful, Rita and such an inspiration...tha...just beautiful, Rita and such an inspiration...that's it...I'm diving right into my scrap bin!! Actually you've also made me realise that my anally colour coded scrap bins (all 7 of them!) actually isn't the best way to see something. When I look in the blue bin all I see is blues, where as if they were all jumbled in together, like yours, I think a great fabric jumps out at you more readily...off to rearrange my scraps...Karen Lewis Textileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15471011912154358889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-85054339134699534542011-10-27T18:04:15.517+11:002011-10-27T18:04:15.517+11:00I'm full of admiration...
