I have finished piecing a "Trip around the World" quilt top. The pieces are 1-1/2 by 3 inches, so the seams are very close together. I pressed the seams all to one side and I'm thinking maybe I should have pressed them open on this particular quilt because of the bulk.
With such narrow pieces, the bulky seams are very close together over the whole quilt top. I am not an experienced quilter and I'm afraid I'm just going to be breaking and bending needles right and left no matter how I try to do this. My question is actually twofold: 1) what design would you use (I'm thinking just an all over, edge to edge design as the the quilting is not going to show much). and 2) How do I handle all those bulky seams? Thanks in advance for all your help!!
