I finished my Debby Brown Color Block top. Oh, my! I have never had so much trouble with it curling up from seams being pulled too tight/biased prob stretched. I think my major problem was I switched machines and forgot to check my 1/4” seam compared to the other machine. The top 5 rows were fine but when I added the section with the last 4 rows, I could have sat down and cried because of how it curled up. I took each of those rows apart and added some new setting triangles to the end of a couple rows. It helped dramatically. When I take it off of the design wall, I will decide if I will let the church quilters finish it or if I will use it to practice some basic walking foot quilting and then give it to the quilters to donate.

Thanks for reading my tale of woes. 🙂. I usually don’t have any problems with on point settings so I’m blaming my machine which just came back from the shop. 🤷‍♀️

P.S. Sorry for the 2 pictures. The editing feature won’t let me delete them today.
