Learn a fun, no marking approach for quilting lines with this quilt book, Quilting Back to Front by Larraine Scouler. The Back to Front approach does not replace any other type of quilting, but expands horizons, offering an exciting, yet easy, option. You'll no longer need quilting stencils and templates to mark quilting designs because you bring the quilting pattern home with you from the shop, on the backing fabric itself. In the time you might have spent marking the quilt, you can have the whole project quilted.
