Havplenty, you're right, those look really smooth. Rather similar to paperpiecing. Very pretty, love your fabrics!!!

Back in the day, 30 yrs ago, I made all my clothes. (Very tall, very shortwaisted, very long arms). Fusible interfacing on collars & cuffs, would make the fabric wobbly, shrink up in the wash, I guess.

Has fusible interfacing improved? Or will it do that to your blocks?

I'm sorry your daughter is moving so far from you, I know you will miss her.
boo boo bags? Do tell. I searched on your posts, but did not see any mention other than here. what is it? got pix?
I will get some pics tomorrow when I got up to the quilt house. They are different size bags filled with rice. You can put them in the freezer or microwave. I love making them. And they have been selling really well.

Thanks about my daughters move! I sure miss them a lot. And it hasn't even been a week yet either!
