My attention to this blog has been lacking lately as I'm still hunkered down working on a special project that is SLOWLY coming together. To say I'm focused is an understatement, in part that's due to the complicated process the design requires.
This view of an area on the quilt doesn't appear complicated at all does it? Yet exact placement of the motifs was vital. I came up with this idea a number of years ago while creating a quilt where much of the designing with fused motifs was done while it was on the design wall.
So....how to transfer a biggish piece to the pressing surface while keeping all the motifs exactly in place?
Perhaps this method can be helpful to you someday too.

You are so right that those little Clover irons are handy for spot fusing. I do have one but generally forget that I do. A handy tip you've shared.
Good tip...might be easier than me laying my work on the floor and taking the iron with me!! HA Stops me from using my design board.
I love my iron and see you are making good use of yours on the design wall. Interesting piece you are working on will we be seeing beads?
To answer Margaret....no beads this time......though the design could easily support them. Yet, it's a gift and I think the recipient would prefer the piece w/o beads....difficult to believe I know!!
Thanks for this- it reminds me that I have one of those little irons and have not had it out in the sunlight for some time. But it's perfect for this task. Sounds as if you are knee-deep in something special.
