My topper is coming out that way, but I look in the book and so is there's so I think I'm doing right if not, work on the second one better, cause I'm not taking it apart...LOL

Since I joined the board, I started pressing every time I make a seam. I starch before cutting and before I put the completed squares together. Then when I got all done I spent quite a bit of time pressing it again. I think I'll have it longarmed and it's the first time so I figured flat would help.

It is nice when a quilt lies flat because sometimes when we piece, we get puckers. I bought the CD from Bonnie Botts,
she is a professional quilter. The Cd's name is "spray starch and Steam. Her method forces the blocks and border to lie flat. It works!

that was definately a compliment!! One I'm afraid I may never receive :)

That is a good compliment. I would have said thank you if someone made that comment to me.
