I tend to cut just a little bigger, then trim down later (like for half square triangles) Also years ago I bought a 1/4" presser foot for my machine. It works great! You can also tape off 1/4" on the plate and line the fabric up with that. I press my pieces together before sewing, so they kind of "stick", and then press again after. I do this mostly for smaller pieces (like the houses). It took me 25 years of quilting to figure these things out, and mine still don't always match to my liking. Don't sweat it. As long as you're enjoying yourself! <br /> Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15467650220067047943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474107277810710594.post-60750220139789236032015-07-31T11:51:52.619-07:002015-07-31T11:51:52.619-07:00I don't like the heat either, but after all th...I don't like the heat either, but after all the snow we had this winter here in NY, I'm enjoying the summer. Thank goodness for AC! Your quilt is absolutely perfect and I love the backing too. Can I ask what your secret is to getting your seams to match so perfectly? My pieces never match up quite right.susanhttp://simplecozyliving.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474107277810710594.post-57792207246062146842015-07-29T00:50:10.379-07:002015-07-29T00:50:10.379-07:00Can I come with you to your cabin?

I open the windows in the early morning to let the cool air get inside.<br />Your houses quilt is soo nice! Now I wish I had sewn the blocks along with you! It is defenitely a to-do project on my list.<br />And I like your new pink blocks, will this make your new "colour" project?<br />KATRIN W.Cattinkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16573600241695108396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474107277810710594.post-45774170686796181392015-07-25T19:32:45.518-07:002015-07-25T19:32:45.518-07:00Super cute houses!Super cute houses!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13176881247438721622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474107277810710594.post-43255887192403094482015-07-25T19:02:57.865-07:002015-07-25T19:02:57.865-07:00I love your quilts!!

I used to do a bit of quilting long time ago you have got me thinking I should start up again. I hear you about the heat. I'm done. I woke up at 3 and we were finally getting some rain I was so excited I got up and looked out the window and sat outside. Today it was a high of 26 kinda chilly!! Hope you get a bit cooler soon too!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207070175643675951noreply@blogger.com
