I also recommend the little wooden stick for finger-pressing the seams --- it makes your work so much more clean at the seams. Tell us what you choose to do for the hand piecing projects, please.
Hi

Here is a link Re Dear Jane - where there is a tutorial for each of the little blocks ! Lots to be hand pieced here and if you prep some up - there is a lot you can do - until you can sit at your machine again !
