| TEXAS TEARS... again! |
This time I am very happy with the block! I was extra careful in cutting my 1 7/16" pieces, very careful when I pressed each segment - NO STEAM! SPRAY STARCH! I was super careful when piecing my triangles (marked the 1/4" dots on each point) I was so careful when I finger pressed the pieces in half to match them up. I pressed ALL SEAMS OPEN!
My block measures exactly 8 1/2" square with lovely 1/4" seams all around!
Thank you to everyone who emailed me with info on the rulers. I have ordered a ruler.. it's an EZ Draft 'n Cut 2" X 18" ruler. It has the 1/16" marks.
I did learn a lot making this block. In all my years of patchwork, I have never had to join triangles like those along the sides of this block. Most of the things I have made have all used HST's.
Now I'm looking forward to seeing what next Saturday's block is like!
Happy Sewing!
