I think that it does not seem to make any if my seams are "callywankus". After the batting and backing and quilting are done then it makes no difference. Stop stressing!!!!!!! DDo a good pressing.

Very interesting to see everyone's ideas

This is the way I sometimes do it but you must be careful not to get blocks turned wrong way. .

Do any of you have quilt making specialites? I may have worded that wrong but I'll explain. We have friends in our little town who also make and sell quilts. One makes the most beautiful crazy quilts with velvet,lace,ribbons,they are truly works of art. So when someone come in wanting a crazy quilt I reccomend her cause I know I'm not as good as she is. I have another that has all the equipment for photgraph quilts,another that is great at stained glass quiltsand celtic quilts. We specialize in tradional and applique. So we all reccomend each other.Do you'all do the so with each other in your quilt circle?

It all depends on the next row on witch way it's laying.

I just change direction, but then I'm hand-piecing so that I don't sew the seams all the way to the edge anyway. You've made me realise that this will be an issue when I try machine-piecing, which I'm thinking of doing for a charity quilt currently in the works. I suppose I could always mark up the diagram with the seam pressing directions again, it's something I do with complicated piecing (like the quilt in my avatar).

I really try to make the seams nest ... but if they don't want to ... I let them be, and move on to the next step.
There are too many patterns and project waiting to waste time on one with a will of its own ....:)
