Now for the challenge of a lifetime. After my mother passed away I took all her hobbies and put them in the closet. They have been sitting there for years. Well I got in the cleaning mood and got in that closet. Didn't get much done because I came across this quilt book. I giggled at the price, just 55 cents. It is full of postage stamps quilts and a couple applique. The quilt that caught my eye is a basket full of flowers. I am going to try a test quilt first, something small to see if I like doing these small squares. I am curious about the seam allowance, do you still use the quarter inch or are they smaller. The pieces measure 3/4 of an inch finished. The instructions are for hand piecing and really don't give a seam allowance measurement. Do you iron the seams all in one direction, open or alternating.
I figure with the hot days of summer arriving shortly, this will be the perfect project to do on those hot days, in my quilt room where I have a seperate AC and don't have to crank up the whole house AC to stay cool and keep my precious SMs from overhearing. I reread the instructions, they call for fabric that is 36 inches wide. Oh where did I put those fat quarters. Hum-m-m-m
