Quilt Squares

I was worried about lining up the quilt squares. I've had some successes:



And some disappointments:



It turns out that a lot just depends on how carefully I cut the squares to begin with. I thought I was very careful when I cut, but apparently not careful enough. I've sewed fairly consistent 1/4" seams, so that hasn't been the issue. And, as I've read, the fabric can be stretched a little when necessary. Emma's patchworking mum told me to pin the meeting points, but I'm regrettably too lazy to do that, so I'll live with the disappointments. In general I'm pleased.

  1. If what I witnessed wasn't precise enough square cutting, then I am definitely not cut out (pun intended) for quilting.
