Yes, Ironed. Lots and Lots of ironing.

I like them. I actually like the narrower ones a little better, but I like motion and "busy" patterns. I would use all your greens - you will be surprised how well they work together when they are all in a quilt. For maximum effect you may need to get a few more lights and darks for higher contrast. As to the "bubble" you can heavily starch, but also you may want to use a dual feed or walking foot to help feed the top and bottom fabrics evenly - especially since they are bias.

I like them both but prefer the one made with the narrower strips! Stunning!

Great job on the blocks! Love all the greens!

I just finished a quilt last month that had alot of bias edges. I asked for recommendations and several people mentioned that in addition to using starch be very careful about ironing pieces because that can stretch them. I tend to get carried away with ironing and need to concentrate on pressing, not ironing.

See, that is what I was starting to think. That I was doing more harm than good with the iron. I don't use the lower "perm. press" setting. I use the next one up. I taking it that is too much.

I really like the way they both turned out. Think you should keep going and make them into a quilt. Easily said when you have to sew and I just get to admire!
