It's cute! Where do you find the patience to work with such small pieces? I don't think I could do it.

something like 10 hours....... :oops:. 1 hour only to take the tiny pieces of paper out!
The hardest thing was to put the 16 pp patches together with matching points. Not one single seam I didnt have to redo at least 6 to 7 times, as it tended to slip under the pressing foot.

When sewing HST blocks together, Rhonda tacks the corner points by hand on her small pieces. Maybe a little hand tacking of blocks at the corners would help you, too. If it works so that you only have to sew once or twice it would be worth it I would think.

OBTW, this quilt is just fabulous like all the rest. G

thankyou for the tip oksewglad.
I tried that but it did somehow not work out for me. It worked best to hold the pieces with the seamripper in place.

Isn't it funny how what works for one, doesn't work for another? I'm going to play some more in EQ7! Later G

It is gorgeous!! I really like this pattern, but way too small for me. I prefer to PP in larger pieces.

Awesome!! Of course, my favorite color is blue. Just ask my kids & GKs
