I had a ball doing my two '30s blocks for next week... the two "Mrs." blocks. One of them should be called "Mrs. Nothin'ButYSeams", LOL. Challenging but soooo beautiful! I'm still fairly new to PP, and today I had an epiphany... If you put the pieces together in the prescribed order, the seams will nest properly! DUH. I had been putting them together as was convenient, colorwise, and seams weren't nesting. So I tried reading the pattern pieces and doing it her way, and voila! Everything nests.

I also figured out that I can go faster and make less mistakes if I color the pattern pieces with some markers. Makes it so much easier for me.

I found some of the old threads from the early weeks and have been enjoying them. There were so many more pictures back then. What happened to everybody?

Hope you ladies are all having a wonderful weekend.
