Does anyone have an easy method for remembering which direction you sewed each strip?
Should I just use a perm. marker to mark an arrow in the seam allowance at the start of each strip? Or maybe there's an even easier solution . . . . please post any ideas.
Thanks!
I always put a pin in the top strip, then it is easy to remember which way is the first "up".....and yes, doing a strip quilt without alternating directions will cause a BIG problem if you do not alternate directions---guess how I learned that?
