Ok so here's the first completed ring. I have concerns about the bottom right hand corner, it does not want to lie flat and it has been pressed. Any suggestions?
Ps I'm so glad I have a year to do this!!!
Much love

The botom right corner can be adjusted by putting a slightly deeper seam from the outer edge of the seam between the red square and the white square. Make it a,little wider at the open edge and taper to the other end, kind of like sewing a dart. Start small, and deepen the " dart" until it lays flat. Sometimes as we sew seams, we end up with a slight curve towards the second end just because some of us do. Watch for that. You can also draw your seam lines if that helps. I did a 49" dresden plate quilt a couple years ago, and became quite an expert at getting things to lay flat. (When first sewn, the dresden was a "volcano" and I have quilted for years!) Your first circle looks way better than my volcano did! Lol! Keep going. Love the colors so far!
