Ok. are you referring to the "dang pattern's upside down" picture? Here I'm holding my pattern (which was face down on the table) with my fabric, (which lies face up on top of the back of the pattern) up to the light so I can see through the pattern to see how well the fabric piece is laying within the stitching/pattern lines. What I usually do is lay the pattern face down. Then position my fabric piece on top of the pattern with the right side of the fabric showing (wrong side down) Then I either place a temporary pin, or just hold it securely, then flip them over so that the fabric is now underneath the pattern, which is now lying right side up showing me the line I need to sew. One day when my life calms down a bit, I'll do a little video tutorial. Let me know if this helps! Sonja Oh it’s not you, the whole process is bloody confusing at first!

I have seen this done however on tv so I can probably figure it out once I sit down - reading sounds complicated. But your quilt pieces look great!
