There are a number of ways to avoid this crease which takes away from the beauty of the quilt:

• One way is to layer your quilts laying them flat onto a spare bed.
  
• Fold into thirds lengthwise and drape over a quilt rack.
  
• If storing on a shelf in a closet, toting to guild meetings or sending in the mail try the bias folding method. Lay quilt on a flat surface. Fold corners one at a time into the center of the quilt. Continue to fold the corners until the quilt is the desired size. Bias folds are much more resistant to producing permanent creases due to the increased number of threads along the crease.
  

A light box has a clear flat surface with a light source underneath. It is used in quilting to trace designs onto fabric.

Light boxes are available to purchase but are easily made by:

• Placing a lamp minus the shade under a glass table. Tape your design onto the table. Position fabric on top, then lightly trace.
  
• For a portable light table. Use a shallow, opaque plastic storage tub. Place an under the cupboard switch-on-fluorescent light under the inverted tub.
  

When you are starting out the easiest way is pick a medium sized print that you just love.This will be your border fabric. You will now use this fabric to pick the colours for the rest of your quilt
