I'm making a small quilt for my grandson, and the pieces are rectangle 5 1/2 x 8...3 sewn joined together on the 8 inch side...then another set is sewn together with that. (hope I'm explaining this right)
my problem is: the vertical seams aren't matching.
I've heard the word "nesting" the seams but its not working for me. Can someone give me a clue about how this is done. I guess that's why I've stuck to patterns that don't require this..all the quilts I've made have been strip quilts, so I don't have to match anything. Too chicken to do a 9 patch. (lol)
thanks for you help. :)
