Wedding quilt progress
How's this for interactive quilting? I thought it might be easier than emailing everything, and this way if you want to ask questions (or even post your progress), you can, and anyone can answer. I contemplated Facebook, but Amy would have been able to see us all linking to that.
Anyway, after much trial and error, I think I have the hang of sewing the patches!
I've photographed everything I've done this morning in steps so you can see how to put it together.
It's this first bit that's tricky. When you put the two pieces right side together, you would normally think to match up the points, but it doesn't work that way. You have to sew it together with a bit hanging out each end (see circled area below) so when you iron them flat, the strip works in a straight line.
