Transferring pattern markings to fabric

Now that the pattern pieces are laid out and the fabric has been cut into rectangles big enough for at least 1" on all sides for the seam allowance, I start transferring the pattern markings to the fabric.  Basting stitches mark the outline of the piece, the quilting lines, the right side of the fabric, and other markings.  This part is going to take a while.  Next time I'll buy spools of threads in different colors to denote the different types of markings.
