How to Sew Quilt Pieces Together
Okay, now that we have our blocks sewn together, we are going to check to make sure that we have it sewn the right size. We also need to check to see that our points match our other seams. And they do pretty good. We want to see that we have our 1/4 inch seam at each intersection where we have a triangle because we will be sewing sashing on to this to make it in to a big quilt.
