I always ended up with the corners not matching up. So I started whip-stitching the corners together before I sewed the seams of the blocks. Then I could just turn it over and see if they lined up properly before I sewed!<br />BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1326925099441442783.post-4791497468256202562011-04-16T06:12:37.716+10:002011-04-16T06:12:37.716+10:00Those patchwork squares pegged to your shutters lo...Those patchwork squares pegged to your shutters looks so gorgeous!

What can I say? It's not my strong point at all! So for me, you are in the process of making a piece of art! The fabric is beautiful! and it will definitely turn out into something gorgeous. There are times, I promise you, that I wish I could sew. I would be all over the place making pillow, curtains, bed covers...<br />Chocolate...thank goodness there is not such thing as chocolate/sweet Easter here! It's more religious around this part of the world, and nothing to do with candy. Otherwise, I'll be eaten more chocolate eggs than you by now! :o) Enjoy them!<br />have a lovely day.Claushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803540562431030465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1326925099441442783.post-36718907025631113072011-04-15T23:05:17.330+10:002011-04-15T23:05:17.330+10:00I love your quilt and think I'm going to try a...I love your quilt and think I'm going to try a similar one.<br />As for the Easter candy, I can't even buy it until the day before now!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872411319194316039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1326925099441442783.post-22705421583272710932011-04-15T22:20:12.035+10:002011-04-15T22:20:12.035+10:00ah but chocolate calls out to us from wherever it ...ah but chocolate calls out to us from wherever it is stored and says ..... eat me.... : DCaterina Gigliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866569809702127806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1326925099441442783.post-29637571326820190972011-04-15T18:11:25.654+10:002011-04-15T18:11:25.654+10:00Pam your vintage fabric combinations look divine a...Pam your vintage fabric combinations look divine and I'm sure it will look stunning when finished.

I've helped my mom with some of hers -- I love the finished product -- BUT I can't imagine cutting all that fabric into tiny pieces and then sewing them back together in.
