This post takes a close look at salaries teaching English in Eastern Asia (Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan). These can be some of the best paying teaching English abroad jobs in the world. It's possible to save a $1000 a month on an English (ESL) teachers salary in all of these places. Aside from Asia the Middle East is probably the highest paying place for international ESL teachers in the world. Countries like UAE (Dubai, Abu Dabi), Saudi Arabia and Oman can have salaries upwards of $3-4000.
The book contains several projects based on the same basic concept: take square blocks and set them into a circular shaped arrangement using the special layout method. Take different basic (square) quilt blocks, then arrange them in a circle - unique and interesting. A newer version of this same idea is Circle of Nine: 24 Stunning and Creative Quilts: One Unique Quilt Setting by Janet Houts, which shows you how to create a circle out of eight blocks with one in the center.
Planning the Quilt Back. You can piece leftover fabrics from the quilt top or from an entirely different quilt project. This is especially charming when you are making a reproduction or historical quilt. Like batting, the backing needs to be larger than the quilt top. This allows for the fabric that is taken up during the quilting and for stabilization when using a quilting frame. Always add 6 to both the length and width measurements so you have an extra 3 all around.
