i cut the square at 9.5 inches and according to the tutorial I am supposed to iron down 1/4 inch all the way around so there is no "fraying" at the edge. Then you iron it into a small square, and then iron into another smaller square.
I forgot to iron down the 1/4 inch seam ... so in the middle, you can see little bits of fraying ... it's annoying LOL and drives me bonkers .
I donate all of my quilts that I make, and this one is quite small ... it could even be a centerpiece for a table ... I just needed to find something to hide my messy middles.
I could do applique but I'm already working on another applique project with lots of little circles, and the buttons look fun!
Thanks for all the comments!
