It took awhile to get used to sewing the blocks together with the fringe "in the way", but I realized instead of using my walking foot to use my regular foot and it works much better. Also, everytime I start a new blanket I always put at least one set of blocks "right sides" together which is backwards in a rag quilt. As many as I've made by now I can't believe I still make that mistake!!!
