just look what i made today - just don't look too close, my thingies don't match up but the newborn baby boy i made it for won't notice it a bit, and I bet neither will his Mother.

Nice quilt Dojo.
Well, getting that swatch wet then ironing worked. I was sprinkling it with water but I guess it just wanted another bath. :D
Tomorrrow I cut that last piece then put together the square to see if my idea works. If it does I wll be a cutting manic for a bit since I have 210 squares to make for this quilt. But it will be worth it once it is done and I can sleep warm this winter. i will post if it work or not with a pick.

I love muslin to, just something about it. Love to sash with it or do the backing.
I have a spray bottle by my iron for hard to get out wrinkles. Its the only way to get that fold line out of material that has been on the bolt. Spray the heck out of it.

It's supposed to have crosswise strips? Hmmm.......I like it as is!
