Aunt Grace Block of the Month (2)

Working hard on my Block of the Month quilts.  I love the 1930's prints that this quilt is made up of.  The blocks are a little smaller than I thought they would be, but I am getting the hang of it now.  I think that the blocks are turning out really cool.  I am finding that the smaller the block and the pieces the easier it is for the points to line up.



Tip:  When pressing the small stitched fabric pieces to the dark/printed side, lay the piece with the dark/printed side up and give it a little touch of the iron.



Then lift up the dark/printed side, and fold it over.  Then give it another press with the iron.




Now  your seams are nicely pressed to the dark side.
