I made my quilt blocks 2 & 3 (of 20!). I was much quicker and more accurate this time! The flying geese and seam pressing tutorials from last week’s post really helped set me on the right path. I think the key is making sure my triangles are centred before attaching them to the quilt block (and giving them a little trim if they aren’t centred).

My ironing skills are improving as well. I am spending lots of time with my iron because I have to use it to press every seam open after I sew it. If I were to make more quilts I think I would like to upgrade my iron. Suzy Quilts has some well-educated opinions on good quilting irons.

My big goal next week is to finish all my blocks and piece together my quilt top!

I present to you Blocks 2&3 In all their splendour!
