Re. your final tip, ...Your quilt top looks great! Re. your final tip, I do more or less the same thing when I'm piecing and really want seams to match. I sew a few stitches where seams and points come together, make certain that the piecing looks good, rip out and try again as needed, and then do the entire seam. I also sort of improvised the method myself when I started quilting, but I'm surely not the first to have done so either. For me, it's an essential piecing technique!momijihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269568370387980525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1173736059953244557.post-2096817040965580932012-08-22T18:36:12.391-07:002012-08-22T18:36:12.391-07:00I love this quilt Holly - I am so glad that it is ...I love this quilt Holly - I am so glad that it is back in progress, it really deserves to be finished.

Great trick about sewing the crucial section together before stitching the entire seam - I will try that in the future, I haven't seen it before.
