I started a plus/cross quilt 2 years ago. I used a jelly roll and some of the fabric wasn't 2 1/2" wide to start with. Some may have shrunk when steam pressed and some I just cut wrong, but my rows weren't matching and were bowed. I put it aside. Then I read a hint here on the quilting board about using woven fusible interfacing to add the extra width needed and tried it. I took the whole quilt apart (I had all the pieces sewn together into rows, but only 10 rows sewn together.). I re-measured each piece and ironed-on the interfacing where needed. Then I had to remeasure each piece to cut it to the correct size. The interfacing ended up in the seams and can't be seen. I just finished sewing the top together. What a job! Now I have to add borders. Any ideas?[ATTACH=CONFIG]520759[/ATTACH]
