Making last years BH ORL mystery taught me to sew, starch, press, trim, sew, starch, press, trim, repeat, repeat, repeat....

I recall seeing a previous boomer show her 'trial blocks' made to ensure she had the accuracy down before cutting into other's fabrics. That will likely be me this Boom

BTW - I will be over the moon happy with any block style that you make for me!
