Just sayin'...
I've done chains on the single pieces that I need many of, but after doing 8 of my 29 rows of my
Blooming Nine Patch, I finally figured out how to NOT get confused and sew them up in the wrong order. I have all the pieces in neat little "row piles," but was sewing a piece, pressing, then sewing, then pressing...just so I wouldn't lose my place. Needless to say, it was taking forever to get through even the short rows. Then I finally got smart and did 2 at a time, then the next two, then the next two...pressed (keeping them in order- LOL)...then added the 2s to each other...etc.
I know you experts are rolling your eyes, but this is HUGE for a newbie! It's going SO much faster "assembly-line" style!
Ok, off my box now. I feel like I'm at a Q-Anonymous meeting and just went to the podium to announce my major breakthrough for the week!
