BEFORE CLASS: Before Class: PRE-Mark your quilt top with one horizontal, one vertical and two diagonal lines through the Center Point, forming a + and an X, using your marking tool. Be Precise -- the greater your accuracy in drawing the lines through the center point, the more balanced your project will look.
