Last night I was finishing the blocks for a quilt I am making for a class I'm taking and realized I hadn't cut out enough for the last four blocks. Well, I got to the last one and I had to piece a 1 1/2" x 8 1/2" strip. I had to make it in 4 pieces. Thanks to my mentor's wonderful technique, you can't even tell it's been pieced. I'm so proud of myself! :-D

Did I see something about that technique on this board? It sounds familiar, but may have it confused with something similar.

I know how you felt! I had to do the same thing when I made my DD scrub top quilt. Luckily the prints blended well enough to hide the extra seams. Doesn't it feel good to make it work!! :thumbup:
