Hi Leslie
I found that article via google as I am not knowledgeable enough to explain
stretching :-)).
Enough to say that I will present myself and said quilt to the weekly
meeting of Selsey Quilters where I will be instructed to do as I am told
;-)). I have a photo of me being instructed on how to stretch my Red Sea
Quilt somewhere.
Many thanks
Eddie

Oh Ed, Please don't tie this wonderful masterpiece! IMHO that would
detract from it immensely.

Hi Gen
Rest easy! :-)) It is going to be hand quilted like my Red Sea Quilt was. I
was surprised by some of the effects I made, especially with regards to the
desert and sea.
Thanks to you all for the most complimentary words. We await the stretching.
