Can anyone suggest how to get your blocks lined up perfectly at the joints without so much back tracking; fixing blocks that moved.
Thanks, Mariah.
I put a pin each side of the joins and only take out the pins when I reach each one. you could be turning the pin in the middle which moves the fabric slightly making the blocks off.
