No time, no ...I'm not going to quiltcon either. No time, no money. But if my husband graduates this semester like we're hoping, maybe next time.<br />Love that quilt. For pressing seams open, I think it's a matter of personal preference. Sometimes it's useful for complicated blocks. And you never get a shadow like the one you had. Most of the time I press to the side, but every once in a while I'll press open.Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975806548855709834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8564846556280971762.post-85746878186991909102015-02-18T14:38:44.459-06:002015-02-18T14:38:44.459-06:00Your feathered tree quilt is gorgeous.

It is so hard to accept that sometimes seam allowances are going to be seen. I try to press toward the dark fabrics, but that doesn't always work. I am not one to press seam allowances open when quilting- I tend to worry about batting working its way through the seam over time.

But I will probably never enter anything into a quilt show, either, where mean people will nit-pick about my seams showing through:/Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03714484431874707022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8564846556280971762.post-90160646051252527842015-02-18T11:20:49.821-06:002015-02-18T11:20:49.821-06:00Visitng from WIP Wednesday link up.
