I have just cut a bazillion tris to make a (MY FIRST) OBW. They are gorgeous, but, I'm questioning how they will go together. Though I have read thru the tutorial here on OBW's, I don't remember the exact construction details. Any and all advice/encouragement appreciated.
that's exactly right...you will be sewing 1 to 2, 3 to 2...(really, put both 1 and 3 on top of 2...not 2 to 3.... then repeat with 4 to 5, 6 to 5 and then do the 3-pin method to get them lined up properly... and don't forget to unsew the seams inside to make the 'flattening flower'....
