| my pressing guide block for this quilt |
I lay out a stack of pieces for blocks with the back side showing.
See my arrows above for the pressing plan.
As I construct them, I keep a completed block in view to get my pressing correct. I use a directional fabric block for this pressing guide block to help me keep it oriented in the same direction as I work over time.
The blocks will nest side by side.
Then, by rotating alternate rows, the rows will nest too. I'll show that more when I get this top to the assembly stage. Still about 30 blocks to make!
Another simple block that takes some careful piecing and pressing to ensure everything nests.
My design. Use at your pleasure.
