OK this DWR has 393 motifs to be set into the blocks. Most of them are small. I was haveing a hard time with it, spending a lot of time getting it centered OK. Lots of adjusting.

So I decided to take these two pieces if plexi glass. One is for protecting the top tho other one has the pattern centered on it with registration markes.

This is a stencil with the same lines as marked on the plexi piece.

So I lined it up with the block as best I could with the needle in the center.

I have the lasyer light on the frount of the machine so that I can stitch from the frount. I line up the plexi glass with the pattern on it to the needle. Remove the stencil check the corners of the pattern to make sure that it is not to crooked, and stitch it out like a panto. Now it is not perfectly perfect, but It did speed up the process some. Which I needed and it is not bad. With the matching thread it looks OK.
I got almost half the quilt quilted. I need to have it all quilted by May 2nd. Wish me luck.
I should be quilting now but I am so tired, and with the pollen and my allergies my eyes are all itchy and not working the best. The pecan trees are leafing out and every thing is yellow with the pollen. I walked across the yard this morning and the toes of my shoes turned yellow with it.

I can't wait to see this finished. This is a great idea to quilt your design in the centers.
