Hello and welcome from northern California! Your quilts are lovely.

Welcome from Central California!

A little tip for sewing 1/4 in. seams: Keep your eye on the guide, not on the needle. The needle comes down at the same place all the time, it's the edge of the fabric that needs your attention. This is more difficult than it sounds, it is natural to watch the needle. When my seams are off, it's,oh, oh, I've been watching the needle again. Hope this helps.

You're right on that. I have to really concentrate on my 1/4" foot when i'm sewing and not let my eyes wander to the needle.

Slow down when piecing and when you cut at each step, square up you blocks to the correct size. It is tedious I know but leads to great accuracy, and makes it easier to match points. I have those square rulers in different sizes making it easy for me to square up my blocks. Did my irish chain this way and points matched so much better this method.

Hello and welcome from Indiana! Your quilts are lovely!

Thanks for all the good suggestions. Now I need to figure out what color to bind the quilt - or if I should use a plain or pattern. Yikes - indecision, indecision.
