You may want to double check your seam allowances now and correct them so that you don't have as much trimming :wink:

Pinning also helps to keep everything in place as you sew your rows together and may help lessen the amount of trimming needed, too :D:D:D
Thank you. You not only gave such good advice but you presented it so nicely and so kindly!!!
