This is how I audition quilting patterns:
These are page protectors taped on top of the flimsy, then I use Crayola Window Crayons to mark up the designs I'm thinking of. The marks will wipe right off with a little piece of batting. What an ingenious idea! Sorry, I have forgotten who posted this, not too long ago.
The last couple days I've been doing the Stitch in the Ditch. Not a fun part, at all. This is almost like work! Almost. Tomorrow I should be able to start FMQing. Looking forward to that.
I got inspiration from Angela Walters latest book:
Thanks,

Beautiful top Lin! I have Angela's new book too - LOVE!! :) I haven't actually done the draw on the quilt top yet - but it looks like a great way to audition. . . Sometimes the vision just doesn't come through when drawing on a picture of the quilt.
I can't wait to see this one quilted up! You guys must be getting ready to migrate south soon?
That is a great way to audition quilting, Lin! I hope the stitch in the ditch finishes up quickly and that the quilting flows smoothly and is fun to do!
I love the colors you used in the quilt. It is not the traditional only red and green and is so nice.
