I am not a very accurate piecer, which is why I mostly do applique. But the method where you cut your squares a tad bigger and then sew your 1/4" seams is the way I do it. I also discovered the hour glass block last summer when working on the round robin. That was fun to do and I managed to do it fairly well if I say so myself! So I guess an old dog CAN learn new tricks! :lol: :lol:
