Yes that is what I thought also, but the class materials where what it said to use. But I do agree with you also.

I loved to do the free hand quilting, I was afraid to do it at first so I made a small block just like the material and gave it a try and then I went for the big job of free hand quilting on my first quilt. I loved it. I uploaded a picture of the front of the quilt and also the back of the quit which I though showed the free hand quilting better than the front, I did the free hand in the white and the blue area's only, I didn't want to quilt on the star area and I think it looked okay.
