When you part the seam and press it each way, it weakens the seam, but sometimes is necessary to do it that way. Although I keep an iron on my right side and table on the left as I sit, I never press until I complete the block. Instead, I will finger press the seams. The back of the 'Y' seam I pressed [ATTACH=CONFIG]528624[/ATTACH]open, in the center and others one way. Hope this answers your question. If multiple points are meeting, I do not sew the last quarter inch like Honchey has shown in her hints. It will 'spin' around and not cause a lump in the center.

I finished my two blocks for week 3. Now I'll go back and catch up on week two. I am feeling so much better today. Anne is really Crazy anne so I made her a gypsy with many colors....

O, Rosyhf, your blocks are always a delight to see. A delightful vivid lively Anne, much like our esteem leader, who is also called Anne.

Rosy - love your pinwheel! It is the first multi-colored I have seen - amazing! I'm anxious to see what you do with the rest of your blocks.

Rosy, love the way you think outside the box! Love your blocks!

Thanks ladies, I just finished one of my week 2 blocks and now I better rest lol. I am enjoying this so much. I wish now that I had switched to 10 inch blocks with the first FW that Honchey did, I still might go back to that thread and do it anyway as soon as I feel 100%.

BTW, I look at all the lovely blocks before I start mine lol.....Everybody blocks are just awesome.

Ok, I officially do not like the block April. It started with the design and then I switched two of the sides and it really doesn't look like anything now. I am going to do it over and maybe switch some of the pieces around. Ugh : (

Pam that is exactly how I felt. It just didn't make sense to me like the other blocks do.

Oh, I love your Anne, Rosy! Pam, I agree, I'm redoing April as well, someday! Here is my Anne. Went back to the pastel aqua and grey this week. Next two will be back to brights. :)
