Final assembly on
Miss P has begun, and true to form for this pattern, it's slow going for me, but it will be so worth it.
There are 6 seams along each side of of each block that are not conducive to nesting so use of the pincushion is in full swing. By the time I sew the rows together there will be 36 pins per row!
Because the blocks have been sitting around for so long, I've been giving each a good press to help re-establish crisp seams and hopefully make for better joins along the way. That includes pressing the corner seams open so that they lie flatter.
It's been so much fun revisiting every block.
And coming across wee surprises like this little bee (I'm easily entertained).
And even more fun to see actual progress. The two rows to the left are together now but not yet sewn to each other....M

Gorgeous blocks! Assembling quilt tops with blocks that need seams matched and pinned is one of my least favorite parts of the process but it’s so worthwhile. Happy pinning!
I think the shapes in these blocks are lovely, very pretty and colourful, pinning does make a difference on some quilts even though it's a bit of a nuisance - I stab myself many times when I use pins.........Elaine
Super blocks! Yes, pinning is slow work but so worth it.
This is just so beautiful! I love all of it from the neat individual blocks to the final layout and all the pretty colours and I would be amused by that perfect bee as well. Well done!!
