I’ve been working on Little L’s quilt this week. These are the connector blocks to go with the I Spy blocks.
The directions said to press seams open. I hate doing that. But this was my first block. Less than stellar. BTW, the red strips finish at a half inch.
So I followed the directions on my next try.
That looks better. To trim these, I place them on my 3 1/2 inch die and run it through.
Still not perfect, but definitely better.
Sometimes it pays to follow directions. And here’s a teaser of a small area of the layout.
Have a great day!

I’m SO excited to see this quilt done – the eye spy fabrics are so fun!
Oh, my goodness the connecting blocks make that I Spy quilt SO fun! Pressing can make a real difference, can’t it?
I’ve made this quilt. It turned out wonderfully. I placed the connecting blocks in a way that made a maze at the same time. So much fun! I didn’t press the seams according to the directions, but from your pictures maybe I should have..
P Dianeressing the seams open really made a difference. Love it so far.
This looks like it will be a fun quilt for your grandson. Yes, sometimes those directions give us fits, and sometimes they are there because someone else has made all the mistakes for us!
KATY! So, so, so cute you tease you. And wow, what a difference pressing the seams open made. I don’t usually follow directions either, at least as far as pressing goes. The die cut made short work of trimming and it looks perfect to me. Happy Wednesday! ~smile~ Roseanne
