I must be completely out of practice. I have major problems here. I am working on the foundation of an art quilt and I am doing the background in Ohio Star. I am making 9 inch blocks which involves 3.5 inch squares and triangles. The fabric is cotton, but has differing texture. When I sew the quarter inch seams and press them, the 3.5 inch squares are less than 3 inch squares. I am in the process of taking them apart and resewing with less than quarter inch seams. Do any of you have suggestions on what I should be doing here? I really need some of your help. :roll:
