Thank you, Vat, for your tips. I used jelly rolls so the strips were already cut. Next time, I will use yardage, starch it and then cut strips lengthwise. I pressed so carefully the blocks still they distorted a lot. Then I struggled to keep the top flat so I don't have too many sharp points. Can't wait to quilt it.
