My blocks are together! Advice for next steps?
#1
Just finished sewing my pieces into blocks for the baby clothes quilt. There are only 35, but some of them were difficult. This is an adventure! I'm getting to know my sewing machine. We were only "acquaintances" before--met up for a little hemming, that was it!
So, my plan next is to snip threads, press the blocks and start to square them. Sound right? Any tips/advice at this point?

I would starch the blocks before cutting them to size; the cuts will be more accurate. If you don't want to wash the quilt later, use light or medium starch; handling alone will loosen it up by the end of the project.
It's very, very cute!
