    Default MQ8 City Streets

    I finally finished quilting my MQ8 City Streets from Quilters Club of America. It was quite a challenge to manage so many small pieces with my big hands. The 9 patch block measures 1 1/2" finished. Because they were so small I decided to quilt on my DSM. This quilt is for my DSIL. All I have left to do is trim and sew on the binding!

    oh I love your quilt! It is just beautiful! I can't imagine working on pieces that small. What they start out at 1 inch and end up being 1/2 inch - with the seams that close are they stiff?

    Thank you. Yes, 1" strips....I nearly cried when I read the instructions. I really had to push myself to finish it and so glad I did!!
