I finished off some seams on the back of my Jacobean Journey yesterday. I embroider the design on each block with the top, batting, and backing in my embroidery hoop. I then trim the squares, line up the embroidery on the front and join the blocks together. The top fabric is 1.5 inches larger than the backing fabric. I press the seam open and then I fold the top fabric over the backing fabric to hide the edges. I am using a curvy stitch to sew down the front seam allowances. I can only sew on this for about an hour at a time and then my eyes start to cross from trying to keep the folds and the stitching straight. It's rather boring but it has to be done. The center of the quilt has 80 blocks and I have 75 of them embroidered before my machine locked up. I want to have those 75 blocks finished off today.
