9 - I liked the quilting motif, how do you get the swirls to be so regular? Do you pencil it in or freehand? (Comment this)

10 - liz,
my quilting is freehand. i love doing these loopies. contrary to your comment my loops are not regular at all. they are actually very irregular. i do not have a steady hand so making loopies that are the same is impossible even i did draw lines( i've tried), so what i do is make them all just a bit different to add character to the quilt and keep me from going crazy.
