Beading has commenced...

I ended up tracing the pattern piece I used for the front center panels on the doublet. I traced out the seam allowances, and drew a one-inch square grid on the diagonal. I cut out the piece, then pinned it to the doublet. I am now just quickly adding the beads, and then I will carefully remove the tracing paper, so I can use it on the other half of the doublet. Then, I will quilt the doublet front, using the beads as my guide. I will secure the beads more carefully as I quilt.

It's going pretty quickly so far. I am going to pop in a movie, and take my sewing to the couch. I hope this works the way I expect it to...
