While this was a lovely quilt to work on, the motifs my friend wanted were larger than the throat of my machine. Now I don't know about other LAs but I really, REALLY hate marking a quilt. I double tested the water erasable pens in many spots and then dove in.
As she wanted a large leafy wreath in the obvious centers of the blocks I drew the guide lines for the vein of the wreath (22 in dia) and how far into the center the leaves would go. Inside that a standard medallion; this one a flower with leaves.
The rest was vine fill.
Glad to say all the marks came off and my friend took her quilt home to bind. She'll have a very happy daughter this Christmas, I think.
