    Pressing the seams opposite so when you put the two together they nest. And I use the Clover "U" shaped pins. I don't remember what they are called but they hold the intersection on both sides. Love them!

    The 1/4 inch foot on the machine helps a lot too. And quiting when I got tired and not as careful!

    I did lose 2 points when I put the binding on. OOPS! But I didn't redo it. By then the time rush was on to get it done before he left. I should have taken it out and adjusted but........oh well!

    Most of my quilts are gifts and I make them to give away so I never consider them "mine". It was harder on my DH. He thought it was too much for someone I will probably never see again. I'll just have to make another one that will stay home :lol: Only for mine I will use flannel on the back for snuggle factor :wink:

    Very nice work. You may or may not see your boss again, but many will see the quilt and the story of your generosity will live on as well as a beautiful piece of work.

    Your hubby will LOVE the snuggle factor of the quilt that will stay home. :P :P :P :P
