The sew-along is almost over and there is only 1 block left after this and then the border!!
February has seemed to have flown by - only a few days left!! As I look out my window I can see frost on the roofs of the houses in my neighbourhood - Winter is trying to make a last appearance with a dull cloudy morning and rain coming tonight. It will be a good day to get errands done and a start on Block #8!!
I am having difficulty managing those center seams when putting the blocks together - they are so bulky - perhaps it will be better when the paper is removed but I don't want to do that until I join the blocks together. I am debating whether I should press them open to help flatten them out a bit. Again I'm wondering if I should purchase a wool pressing mat to make it easier. I do have a Clapper somewhere from my garment making days but haven't pulled it out in a long time.
If you have any Paper Piecing tips or Pressing tips that will help others out in navigating through a project please share!
