My avatar quilt is much the same pattern.
I made it before I knew the merits of Best Press (or even starch), and had few problems.
However, I did learn the merits of good pressing practices during the preparatory stages
and at every step along the way.
You have a beautiful quilt in the works and that alone will be worth keeping at it!

Thank you! I used Faultless spray starch on the jelly roll strips before using them and I am extremely careful when I press these blocks due to the bias edges. I was just mentioning them as a point of interest or consideration needing extra care and time when piecing. I also have and use Best Press, but find if I really want stability, spray starch is a stronger choice for me. Thank you for your support/encouragement.
