Isn't it funny how a little (self-imposed) competition brings out our personal inner quilt police?

I think it's not so much what other ppl will say, it's just that errors I didn't see in the flesh leap out at you from a photo - that's my story and I'm sticking to it! 8)

WTG Diogirl! I'm sure your seams will be fine! :D

Re the 1/4" thing, it should be scant to allow for thread and the fold in the fabric. 1/4" feet are exact so you need to sew a shade under the edge and this can vary with thread and fabric thickness. I recently made a log cabin following the Judy Martin method and that was a great way to check my seam accuracy - when you lined up the next pre-cut log to a pair sewn, you saw straight away if the seam was right on or not so could adjust before making a whole lot of blocks which didn't line up. :D I did rip quite a lot at first, FYI! :shock: :lol:
