Calling All Quilters!!!

Here is a sneaky peek at what I've been working on lately .....


..... something a bit different!

Well, I need your help and advice ... please!!

The centre panel of this 'quilt' is a 1m square piece of Vietnamese silk which I plan to quilt in a rather intricate design.

Here is my dilemma:

• How do I baste this without leaving pin holes all over the silk?
• How do I transfer my design onto the silk for quilting in such a way that I'm not left with loads of horrible marks.

EDIT: Looking through some crafting forums I have solved this second dot point ...Use Glad Press 'n Seal. Amazing product!!!

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Yours in patches,

Andi :-)
