Thanks for the advice. I'm sure it's a combination of sloppy cutting, inaccurate 1/4 inch seam allowance, improper pressing without starch!!! Is that enough?!!! :lol:
I'm learning a lot with the Quilter's Academy course. The next time around with a similar block, I'm sure I won't have the same problems.
I just really wanted to get this quilt top finished so that I have a good selection of quilt tops done when I take a break from the course to do some intense machine quilting lessons.
