The project is gorgeous! I'm gleaning from the pros. What method did you use to apply the design on the fabric, e.g. pounce, paper, sulvy stabilizer, paper (tissue).

I had drawn the design on paper and used a light table and an iron-off Clover pen to mark the design. More information for this piece can be found on my blog - http://joanne-threadhead.blogspot.com/2012/10/orange-whole-cloth-quilt.html
