Month 1 The Halo Star Block

[bbquiltmaker]

I'm finally putting month one block together. My question is when you put each of the sections together, did you press the seams open?

Cindy, I didn't but I know at least one person in my small group did. I pressed the seams as they most wanted to go. Do whichever method works best for you.

The problem I'm having is when I try pressing where all the greens and red come together there is so much fabric it won't press flat.

Here is what my back looks like--not perfectly flat on the back but fine on the front. There IS a lot of fabric/seam allowance with these small pieces.

I used my 1/8" trimmer instead of the 1/4" and it worked great. Just tighten your stitch length.

The same thing happened to me. I double checked my oattern - it printed out correctly. I am sure we aren't the only ones this happened to. Debby
