My Progress so far on first quilt lol
#1
Spent a few hours cutting and sewing and so far managed to do 4 x 10inch blocks.
I am thinking maybe doing size 5 x 4 wide ie 50 x 40" for my frist attempt, the perfect size for me to snuggle up on the couch with in winter.
What ya think?? Any tips greatly accepted . Should I press each strip first before attaching to make the block?

For best results "press" (not iron) every seam, as you go ... and then it continues to get re-pressed as you do the next seams.
That is a two part process .... first you "set the seam" (press seam as it lays after you sew it) then the second step, is to press the seam so it lays flat as it will in the finished quilt.
You'll be all the more thrilled with your results if you take the time to do this little extra, as you go.
