I am so impressed with your projects. I scrap quilt also, but my question is the pressing of your seams. They always seem so crisp when you show your blocks do you have a secret method to pressing?

After seeing a few dozen squares, I almost feel like cutting my stash fabrics into 2-inch squares as well. This is such a great size and can be used almost anywhere.Heartsdesirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13046284753160269492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-3636231279669865922017-03-22T04:18:57.325+11:002017-03-22T04:18:57.325+11:00Your scraps are so bright and cheerful!

I went thru some about 4 years ago and cut strips to make blocks for zig zag quilts. I must have make six hundred blocks and it didn't even make a dent in my scraps! Good for you to spend the time to tackle them before a third bin was started!patty a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01861433552460661701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-68506494034961746372017-03-21T23:21:51.196+11:002017-03-21T23:21:51.196+11:00It's hard work cutting scraps.
