    I'm glad to have taught and lectured for your Guild in 2013. What a pleasant group. I got a big kick out of a couple of Show and Tell Quilts of Valor made from the free Anita's Arrowhead pattern ...

    I press Pineapple block seams open. It's just about the only block that I do that to. I press seams open when I sew the blocks into a quilt.

    If anything, I've found rolls to be a skimpy 2.5" Is it possible you subcut the 2.5" strip into 2.75" units (i.e. 2.5 x 2.75")?

    I'd tear off 7-1/2" wide strips. Fold/press each strip in half at the very center of the motif. Then I'd cut 3.25" wide strips which would unfold to 6.5" strips x 72+ inches in length. I have done...

    Alex's 'Mom' certainly works quickly. I love seeing Arrowhead blocks used so creatively by you. In the end its about the quilt, not the construction technique.
