Once you have it quilted it will flatten out. You are doing a wonderful job.Keep up the great work.

Very pretty. Just press don't draw your iron across it just lay it on the seam. I use some best press also.

When I have bulky seam points I trim a few out of the middle, this takes some of the bulk out, then open them up and press with a little steam.
By the way your block looks GREAT! Keep up the good work.

I don't know how to solve your problems, but the coklors and design on this are fabulous!

I agree with all of the above. I really just wanted to compliment you on your construction. Your points are great and your block looks square. Can't get much better than that. Keep up the good work!!

Oops, double post, sorry.

I love a good whacking!
