My blocks look good (flat) until I put the 2 halves together then they raised a bump in the middle.
I have sewn all the way across the block & sewn to the middle from each side but get the bumps either way. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks
All I can tell you is just keep working at it, you will get it flat. I made a 47" dresden plate that had a "volcano" problem. I had 40 seams to adjust until it laid flat, but it did eventually lay flat. Sew your pairs to get her, measure and adjust, then sew halves, measure and adjust, then try the centerfront seam with pins first, then sew once it is flat. You can do it!
