And here's the detail:
Now, this is like Carl's third quilt. Seriously! Apparently he's adventurous when it comes to piecing quilts - he takes the no-fear method, which is great! But (that darn but)... I really want to share this, because not everyone knows -- pressing your seams is crazy important. Here's a picture of one of the overlapping seams on Carl's quilt. I like to call it lazy pressing -- it makes it impossible to stitch-in-the-ditch and can cause some serious difficulties when it comes time to line everything up.
Just think if you were piecing a quilt block, and your seams were overlapping by 1/4", and there were say four seams in that block, by the time you were done with the block it would be 1" smaller. Just think if there were 6 blocks across -- you can see how things might not line up. Just a little tidbit of info -- take time and press seams properly, it will help you in the long run.
Not to worry, Carl is on his way to piecing many more quilts I'm sure!!
