And for your commenter asking about the pressing....in my beginner class we talk about the two camps of thought about it. It helps reduce bulk, and today's machines are much better than in the past, so seams are more secure. Also, open seams used to let batting "beard" but today's battings don't do that as much. I like closed seams for most patterns, especially for any butting seams. Can't wait to see the finished project - thanks so much for this inspiration!!!Kirsten Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995750421017556571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411939643357638479.post-90542571304113134932014-07-02T10:21:37.976-05:002014-07-02T10:21:37.976-05:00So anxious to see the finished product.

Whe...May i ask why you are pressing the seams open. When making a quilt you usually press to one side to strengthen the seam. That way with wear and washing your seams don't come undone.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741671128238716365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411939643357638479.post-72012127821190014032014-06-30T08:56:23.964-05:002014-06-30T08:56:23.964-05:00Super cute blocks it's coming together so well...Super cute blocks it's coming together so well :)Tina Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02580862536509504352noreply@blogger.com
