I prefer drawing on the computer as its so easy to change the size and colour if I need to. If I had to do this in my head I think I might have cried or maybe asked my mum - she is brilliant at maths without a calculator!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06507562992976793622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7365133311894008279.post-65025281779922253702017-01-25T09:33:16.004+00:002017-01-25T09:33:16.004+00:00Thanks Fiona, I'll try and get a round up post...Thanks Fiona, I'll try and get a round up post going - there are 2 more being worked on but we are all nearly done now!

Pulling black back into the final border was a great decision, and at 80" square, that's a very robust size for a round robin medallion quilt!Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705160384198590025noreply@blogger.com
