Taking the time to press the red/brown blocks a different direction from the red/aqua blocks has paid off. They lock into each other and as I stitch, I make sure each seam is in the right place so no pinning. I guess I should say I do 1 pin. That is to make sure the brown triangle is the right place when I start sewing. I haven't had to take any seams apart.
Hi Gretchen! Wow, this looks like it is going to be a huge quilt. Lots of nice details - I like to look at quilts like this when I'm enjoying being warmed by them. To enjoy the different fabrics and how you put them together. Thanks for linking up this week and Happy Thanksgiving! ~smile~ Roseanne
Great job putting all those rows together. Just keep sewing. You're almost to a happy finished top! Happy Thanksgiving. I LOVE the scrappy goodness of this one.
this just looks fabulous! Kathi
ReplyDeletewow!! Do you pin every seam or do you have another trick to get them so perfectly aligned?

Deletesewing rows can take time and on the large quilts I try to press as I go also
ReplyDeleteA lot of seams to match up! This is when I put a book on. It's not my favorite part of quilting but it sure is fun to see it all come together! Yay!
ReplyDeleteComing along so great!!!
