My first quilt I made with flannel sashing and muslin blocks. OH MY! the flannel stretched like everything. My seams were not even, the blocks were wonky, so the difference )between the shortest and longest row was some 4 inches, and none of the eight rows were the same lenght. I had no idea how to fix it, and didn't want to start over. so I made sure each row was straight anyway: folded each in half the long way and trimmed to be even with the narrowest block(it was all wonky even along the rows!) Then I folded each row in half the other way, and matched centers of each row. so the center blocks sort lined up, at least the centers did. but the recipent liked it well enough, I promised her a better one when i got good. i don't think I'm good enough yet though . Maybe when I can make my avatar....
