Double Time Quilt Along Week 4
Your Week 4 Checklist
Week 4 - More of the same! Keep 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 4 Milestone: What's been keeping you going through this project? Too many Cookies? Holiday Movies? Crime Podcasts? Post a photo to Instagram of your blocks in process and let us know visually (or with words) how you're keeping motivated/rewarded. By sharing, you’ll automatically be entered to win a Week 3 prize!
