I have realized...

I have just realized that the enchanted cloak will use some imagination to make a quilt.  Because of the almost half-circle of the cape, pieces do not fit together inverted.  I am going to have to cut the top flat, I think, and the sides, so I have one really big square.  Well, I guess I know now where I will have to concentrate the most effort.  I'll do a windowpane with cuddly black material.  I want this to be a quilt that is used, a cuddly comfy while I watch tv or something, I THINK it can be washed.  Well, it will look good on Halloween.  Hopefully lots of other moms will ask me where I got it.

I am going to post links to video's of how-to do various stitches.  I always find pictures helpful.  The the book I mentioned, Encyclopedia of Embroidery Stitches, is still good.  I am in the middle of tying my newest quilt--I don't have pics of it here, but it is similar to my earlier red velvet quilt, only larger.  Still can't decide on the knife-edge versus binding.
