The center came out great. I took the advice from my last question and was able to get my seams to lay nice and flat. I am trying to turn this into a disappearing hourglass but I’m not sure about the outer points. Should I trim them so the points are aligned or will this disappearing when I get to the end? It’s going to be a mat for my cat but I wanted to practice.
This is my first quilt block and I will admit I fallowed a short on YouTube. I love the way it looks and I had a “trust the process” moment when the points were not lining up. My question is about the amount of bulk on the back. Is this amount normal and will be hidden by the batting and back? Initially I had pressed the seams to the pattern side so I could nest them easier, but then found opening them helped a little bit. I used a 1/4 inch seam allowance and a 2.5 stitch length. Let me know what I can improve on. I’m wanting to do a sampler by the end of the year.
