As I posted earlier, I bit the bullet and started on my Silk Tempest (Cherry House Quilts) quilt a few days back. All seems to be going well. It is almost all cut out. Usually I cut a little, sew a little, etc. But since this quilt is going to require a different type of thread and needle I didn't want to start sewing until I could just sew and not worry about whether I would have to rethread and change needles midstream. Anyway, my question today is...any thoughts on whether I should press my seams open rather than to the side...no triangles here, just squares and rectangles. With the addition of the fusible interfacing my thought is to press open. BTW, I did not realize that silk is like batik in that there doesn't seem to be any right or wrong side.
I took a picture of the pile of fabrics and when I get all the cutting done and the first couple of blocks sewn I will hog tie my son and get him to post pics for me.
