I hope you are not stir crazy with the amount of HST's in this quilt!
Hope you are taking your time and enjoying the process!
There is no rush!
The info will always be right here!
The road might seem long but there is an end in sight!!
It's about the journey....
and
using my trusty Press and Seal,
they are corralled in my trays.
I am the kind of quilter who likes to see some progress from all this work.
To switch it up, I made up a bunch of block components.
I line up my pieces needed for this component like this
As you know, I am a fan of chain piecing
I like to stitch both sections of the block, one after the other
I make sure that there is a different HST on each block
I will do quite a few of them and cut them apart in sections of two
To make nesting seams easier,
I like to press one half to the left and the other to the right.
I absolutely love using Flatter Spray Starch by SoakWash
It makes all these seams lay flat as can be!
Spinning your seams really helps,too!
Check out this quick little video on how to do that
Just love a perfect little square in the center on the back
Stock piling my components....
I could not resist putting a completed block together
I laid out each component as per instructions around a wonky star
Sewed them all up....
Doing the same for the second row of components,
Voila....
One VERY large block completed
24.5" x 24.5"
Only 8 more to go!
Patience Grasshopper....we are getting there!
