The blocks of this quilt did not lie as flat as I would like them to. I am a careful cutter and sewer and rarely have this problem, so I am not sure what my issue was. I have warned my longarm quilter and she said she can work with it.
I really like this design!
Very nice. I've made one like that for my youngest son years ago. It was all flannel. He still has it. Stay safe and sew on. ;^)
ReplyDeleteI’m wondering if you press with steam and perhaps some of the solids have a bit of polyester in them. I made a quilt years ago and learned the hard way that poly shrinks when it is pressed with a hot iron.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is still lovely and I am enjoying your series with solids.
I love a quilt like this - keeps your eye moving and the colors and fabrics are so vibrant!
