Thank you for sharing, I also love making Trip around The world, but I still have tons of 2 1/2" squares. I have made several table runners out of them as well, still didn't make a dent.

A trick that I have just started using is, after pressing a seam, I put a square ruler on top of the block until it cools. That makes all of the pieces really flat and accurate.

This is where a clapper would come in handy in place of a square ruler. That quilt is beautiful & thanks for the tutorial.

Thank you for this method. I see it is an old post that is being recirculated, which is great if you didn't see it the first time.(like me)

I know this is an old thread, but I'm so glad someone resurrected it. I don't remember reading it before. What an amazing idea! Especially since I have a whole box of 2 1/2" squares!
