Your E12 looks good Klue - I love your fabrics, especially the indigo.
The first one I did 3X, then did another 2x and then I took your advice and moved on. I have not had a problem PP previously with things lining up. That is the beauty of PP. Could it be because of the bulk and tiny piecing? I hope it's not the Tramadol I have to take to be able to sit and sew! If that's the case I'm in big doodoo!
I just finished BR11 to complete week 3. Not perfect but not bad. Moving on.
It's 2:30 AM. Time to count sheep!

yes, the size of these blocks and the tiny pieces pose the bulk of the problems.

if i were making this jane quilt to hang on a wall i'd be using 1/8 seams instead of 1/4 to reduce bulk and thereby ease of piecing and quilting.

the miniature jane i'm making is all 1/8 seams since its never going to be used as a utility quilt.

I have been trimming down to 1/8 due to bulk. The only bad thing is that seams won't be pressed open. Whoever quilts this for me will probably want to strangle me. LOL

yes, it is hard to press open 1/8 seams.

This might be horribly wrong, but when I've hit a bulky seam that won't open properly (usually because I haven't trimmed it well and there's more fabric than it's supposed to have) I put a little bit of spray starch into a shot glass and use a paintbrush to wet the seam from the wrong side. Then I drop the iron onto it and press (usual story, DON'T wriggle it around, just press down). The moisture relaxes the seam and lets it open, then the starch sets it so it can't shift back up when it dries.

great tip, i'm gonna give it a try

The biggest problem I can think of is distortion, but as long as you don't wiggle the iron around that takes care of that. And the fabric I'm using doesn't go shiny if I iron it too long, so no problems there either.

I'm pressing the vast majority of my seams open and it does make for nice flat blocks, especially when they're being stored and seem to "lift" after a length of time.

I think what makes me nervous is I've never seen anyone else do it, so maybe there's a catch I haven't come across yet! lol

You are one smart cookie!!!!!!!!

I always iron my seams open.When you are working on minis the raised edge you get from pressing to the dark is so much more noticable in minis. The open seam works so much better for me. Some seams will tend to fold over but I get the majority to lay flat. I spray with sizing and iron if it doesn't. I iron the dickens out of mine. I don't press I iron it within an inch of it's life because I want it flat! I never seem to have a distortion problem at least not one I have noticed.
