It is still raining although it is more a steady drizzle here. Had to go into the village for some blood work and then, once I was back home, I have spent the day quilting.
I am working on a quilt top that consists of 3 inch strips made up of 3 inch squares. Each strip is slightly different that the previous so it is necessary to keep track of which one goes where. I am not a big fan of little strips of numbered paper to keep things organized. I tend to lose the paper or the pins get in the way when I quilt. I have a method which works well and doesn't have any down side. I use washable Crayola markers. A lady in our quilt group tried each colour on a number of fabrics and all washed out without any problem so I bought a box. I have successfully used them to mark fabric when doing the back basting method of applique and to number fabric pieces. I really like them and they are much cheaper than markers made specifically for quilting. And they really do easily wash out.
