Thanks again for your clear, easy to follow instructions. I've never, ever pinned.....looking at all the joins in this quilt I decided to completely follow your instructions and press my seams open...my usual method of lining up joins - pushing, pulling and praying - wasn't going to work with open seams as it pulled open the fabric....I've been pinning and have been so pleased with the results! [Well, there's salvage and there's just plain bad cutting that can't be salvaged, but what can you do - it's made with love! ;) ] So, again, thanks so much for continuing to make your great tutorial available! I'm using a limited number of Fandango fabrics and a Michael Miller(I think) 'Baby Talk in aqua spots for my sashing pieces..... Loving the look so far!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-44014536290421430902012-03-25T20:11:37.728-06:002012-03-25T20:11:37.728-06:00Some one just told me about this block.

The best way to get your points right on is to pin, pin pin :) I pin even when I am nesting my seams.

Unfortunately many others are not so lucky. We have power and water, though we're on boil notice as the sewerage system is broken. Might be months before that's fixed.

This would make the quilt along instructions handier as time goes by and the posts are older. <br /><br />Thank you,<br />Mrs. HeartsMyra @ Busy Hands Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387315332836767140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-21301115090892027172011-02-22T19:29:39.582-07:002011-02-22T19:29:39.582-07:00Hi Tina,
