piecing trial run


I decided to do a test run today with my scrap fabric stash. As it turns out I'm not very good at sewing in a straight line and this is important if I want my seams to line up. I wasn't sure what my seam allowance was supposed to be, so I ended up having to cut some of my pieces to fit right. I'll have to look over my pattern more to see if I missed something. All in all I had a really fun day :)

good job on the trial run!!!
usually for quilts you have a 1/4 inch seam allowance which you press to the darker side of the two colors.
Ironing is your best friend when you are quilting. sew a seam iron it. Then do the next seam.

I took this trial piece down to the local quilt shop in town and they looked it over and gave me a few pointers, I had pressed the seams open and she explained how that won't work, it was very enlightening.
