Double Time Quilt Along Week 3
We hope things are beginning to take shape and the pieces you're sewing together are beginning to get a rhythm.
Your Week 3 Checklist
Week 3 (& Week 4) are dedicated to cutting, prepping & sewing your blocks:
- Continue Cutting Your Concave & Convex pieces out - Once your fabric is cut into the curved components it is very important that you are careful handling them so they don't distort or stretch.
- Pair up Fabrics & Prep Your Blocks for Sewing - Lots of pins, a few pins or dare to try no pins!
- Sew Your Blocks - Keep a consistent 'scant quarter inch' seam allowance throughout the entire project by marking your machine with washi tape or using a quarter inch presser foot for your machine
- Finger Press & Press Blocks With an Iron - it's helpful to use Flatter or a starch spray to help
- REPEAT x 80 Blocks!
Week 3 Milestone:Make sure you are registered for the Double Time Quilt Along and Post a photo of your test block(s) to Instagram. Are you using pins? Three Pins per block? Six Pins per block?
