And they might naturally straighten out as you join the blocks into rows.Tina Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08017080572575350047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935207946660056757.post-39134376740875594492013-04-30T16:17:37.472-04:002013-04-30T16:17:37.472-04:00The baby quilt is going to be so cute!The baby quilt is going to be so cute!Raymond Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215071566951222353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935207946660056757.post-49655700255252970592013-04-30T13:49:17.656-04:002013-04-30T13:49:17.656-04:00The colours are lovely!

I use Stay Flow, which is a liquid starch (Love Best Press Lavender but at $50.00 a gallon, I'll stick to Stay Flow). I mix it 1:3 parts water. You might want to check you quarter seam.

I always like ...Deb, it happens to the best of us. I always like to have a little (1/4" at least) extra so once the block is sewn together I can square it up just perfect! I would say double check and make sure you are sewing with a true 1/4" seam allowance. Sometimes just a thread or two off can make a huge difference in how they line up! Especially if some are sewn with a true 1/4 and some are scant, and some are a little large, your block sizes will all vary! At this point, if you have the all sewn I would sew those four together ... And get all your others put together the same way, and then measure them ALL and square them up to the same size and then put together to form the quilt. Does that make sense? If not just shoot me an email! :) xoBrenishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867222865018437724noreply@blogger.com
