Twisted Quilter

When I was working on my 1.5" postage stamp quilt I just made sure each square was nestled/nested with the next and everything turned out just fine.

Well I finally got all those little squares together!

I used four different sewing machines in the beginning but settled on the sphinx reproduction.

It wasn't as bad as I thought.

Each block has 289 squares in it.

There are 30 blocks.

I am now sewing the QAYG blocks together and it's turning out okay I guess.

I was expecting a whole lot of variance because with that many seams even a tiny variance can add up but it's working okay.

Not perfect but it still looks good and my daughter is happy with it which is the main thing.

I ran out of black thread though.

Can't do much more at this point until I grab another cone from the fabric store.

Probably gonna have 5,000 yards of thread in it.

The blocks were a little wonky looking but it's "quilting out".

I'll post pix in the pix forum when I'm done.

I have enough little squares left to make a couple of pillow shams but will need to buy a bit more black fabric.

Right now I just want to finish the quilt.

In the end, I wound up just sewing the squares normal.

Too time consuming to do adding machine tape and all of it.

Thanks to everyone for your advice and support.

Just another "you can do it" from another "overthinker"! Good luck, and I know you'll do great! We usually do when we finally let go and just do it!

Other than lots of patience, I'd try using a glue stick either in addition to pinning or instead of pinning. Also, periodically check w/ a square up ruler to see if you're off somewhere.
