The Sew-A-long is teaching me to be more precise and I am trying the open seam method too. This way the seams seam to be easier to match up and less bulky.
Here are the 1st and 2nd Blocks.
Also finished two swap projects…
Sorry this is all I can show you… Do you like my “Spider” ???
and I enjoyed making this little “Quilt of Love” too…
Thank you ChERlLy for organising us for another great FnwFs. Will go over now and see what you all have been sewing.

Lovely blocks, open seams do make it easier to match.
ReplyDeleteLove the sneaky spider.
Have a wonderful weekend.
very perfect blocks! well done
ReplyDeletecute peeks of your swap projects.
the spider looks great lol
Your A4A blocks are beautiful! I reverted back to nesting my seams when I joined the top and bottom rows to the centre row but I then ironed that seam open so still not too much bulk. I do find that spraying the blocks with Crisp is making the piecing so much more accurate. I did sew last night but didn't link up with FNWF's, but I was thinking about you all as I sewed!
ReplyDeleteGreat night you had with FNwF's. I especially love your spider, very cute.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Anita.
Very cute spider - your blocks look great - and very accurate...
ReplyDeleteYou've got some gorgeous projects there!
ReplyDeleteLove the spider and quilt blocks - hoping you'll be able to show us the full projects eventually (don't like teasers!!)

ReplyDeleteGreat blocks Maria. I love your little spider!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness our blocks are amazing! Love the sneak peeks too, seems o be a bit of that going around. Great to sew with you again.
ReplyDeleteI should probably be doing the Accuracy project, but I didn't get started. You're always so sneaky with your swap photos, and you make adorable spiders. As spiders go. Cute little baby quilt!
ReplyDeleteYou have had a very productive time. Goegeous work. Your blocks look wonderful. I have thought about joining in but with being away most of this month I will be so far behind by the time I get back and will lose the momentum. Love your spider.

ReplyDeleteLove your spider! Too cute. The accuracy sew along is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great..Pressing seams open is what I learned to do when I first learned to sew when I was in Junior High. At the fair our seams were part of what we were judged. Your gifts are lovely!
