I think those colors are very nice, warm and relaxing and go together very well!

I love the colours, they look soft and restful. Very soothing to the eye.

I am going to press and starch the blocks first because of the bias edges.

I'll look for something for other methods for you.
:-D

Thank you for that link! It's great.

I have done them both ways. My suggestion would be to take a few pieces of scrap and try both ways. This will tell you which way works best for you.

I press to the side for the quarter blocks then press open when I get two quarter blocks together to put with the other strip of two!
Confused yet?

I've made 7 keepers and took pic, but think one of the grandbabies has run off with my cord so i can up load them, I will as soon as I fing the cord.
I'm doing scrappy but i'm all so going to off set each piece with a boarder to help break up the crazzyness of all the different fabrics
