I don't use stencils much--I have your big fan stencil, but have started using the washable crayola markers too. I'm glad to hear others use them so that I don't feel I'm the only one crazy enough to use a marker on a quilt-makes me a little nervous though. Great tip on the striped binding!<br />Liz(was at your Feb Brownstone class)Liz Horganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17606014174228600046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259558187936840360.post-71653974088524104362016-03-03T07:12:29.866-05:002016-03-03T07:12:29.866-05:00Wonderful finish - fun fabrics, including the bind...Wonderful finish - fun fabrics, including the binding and backing!

Your quilt i...Poor coco...I hope she is all better. Your quilt is gorgeous...even if it fought you tooth and nail the whole way. Every quilter has one of those quilts that is an exercise in perseverance. I had 3 quilt tops, pressed and stacked on top of a storage container all ready to go to the quilter.When she was ready a couple months later I went to collect them....all ruined. Unbeknownst to me, the water jug on the ironing board above them had a crack in it. The water dripped down on them and they all ran. Nothing would remove the dye at this point. SIGH! Live and learn. I now visit my sewing room much more often! Curling...such fun! We love to watch it during the Olympics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259558187936840360.post-90790565687169203102016-03-02T20:39:36.132-05:002016-03-02T20:39:36.132-05:00Congratulations on such a beautiful finish!

It was definitely a labor of love. I'm glad all the marks came out, you were able to add more fabrics to the backing, find a great stripe for the binding and, of course, your fan stencil was perfect for the quilting. Yea, it's a beautiful finish.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04492645548495218076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259558187936840360.post-54306751437936647682016-03-02T12:45:01.196-05:002016-03-02T12:45:01.196-05:00Love!

I love that "this took forever"! I use crayola markers too and have never had a problem with just warm water and regular detergent. Love your fan stencil and am about halfway through quilting something for practice with it. (I love the scale of it and my basting pins fit just right between the quilting lines).
