I worked for 3 days on mine, made several and the one I sent still looks like a non sewer made it. I had committed to making one so I sent it anyway but not sure she will be able to use it.

Being a scrap quilter, crazy quilter, and paper piecer, I found out long ago that steam and starch are your best friends AFTER a block is finished. Result is a flat block that you can square up nicely.

Oh Dear! Too funny! I start my block today! Prayers are most welcome. I will have to try the steam and starch when I'm done.

:) sorry.

OK so I am thinking about how one can "cover up" the nether regions given the star theme on the top... :oops: :oops: My suggestion is - when in doubt "applique" it seems to solve most problems... :thumbup:

You guys are too hilarious!! If I made the bikini top, the blocks would have to be about 18" each!! As for the bottoms...better not go there, there's a shortage of cotton and I wouldn't want to deplete the world supply :-)
