It was a free one on the Internet and was a lot of fun and a quilt I still really treasure. I’m totally with you on pressing seams to the side. (Hello SITD not in the ‘gap’ between open seams) I also learned to “pin backwards“ because of buying Nova Montgomery’s seam guide for my featherweight machines.

I made this one years ago too, I started out as solids only, but did end up adding in a few Anna Maria fabrics, but I was never very happy with the result. Custom quilting on it actually 'saved' it, taking it all to another level!

And of course your quilting is just exquisite. It was interesting reading about your seam pressing direction. I prefer side seams, but if the pattern author hasn't given me instructions, I reluctantly press it open because I don't want to take the time to figure it out - lol!<br />Thank you for sharing with To Do Tuesday!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786068334983762178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-67125307528663319902022-05-11T17:44:45.292-04:002022-05-11T17:44:45.292-04:00The colors in your blocks are so vivid...

You are so close to being finished with the body of this fun quilt and it's looking great. I ordered some of the pins you suggested. Mine are getting dull and are frustrating to use.

I've never made an all solids quilt, but seeing yours, it really appeals to me. Thanks for the idea to put pins in backwards so you can use your seam guide. I have a tendency to leave the seam guide off if I need to pin, but "duh!" 😊 Enjoy your sewing time this week!LIttle Penguin Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963436433585505550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-87415411554977140962022-05-11T10:31:39.142-04:002022-05-11T10:31:39.142-04:00Isn't it exciting when you "get" to ...Isn't it exciting when you "get" to piece chunks together and then piece those chunks into even larger bits?
