Mijn blokken van Angela's opgave, niet geperst omdat ik advies wil over de richting van de naadtoeslag. Kan ik beter naar de zandloper stukjes toe persen of van ze af of draaien net als in het midden van de zandlopers (zie volgende foto)?However I haven't pressed them yet because I would welcome advice on joining the rows. While I spun the centres in the hourglass pieces, is it a good idea to spin the other bulky joins?

| detail: there is really a lot of fabric coming together here in the middle, and I can't imagine quilting it. |
In the anvil block I finger pressed the seams in the middle of the four-patches open, but the last seam wants to go in every direction. Can I spin this join in the middle of the block too?
In deze blok heb ik de horizontale naden in de 4-patches open geperst, maar de horizontale naad in het midden van de blok gaat alle kanten op.
and then, to take my mind off this issue, I made a couple of wonky stars!
Toen ging ik een paar wonky stars maken als afleiding.
Go over to Superscrappy and see what others have done this week.

Happy sewing,

Bonnie Hunter recommended "spinning" the centers on the pinwheel blocks for Celtic Solstice. I've been doing that, but the seems are still bulky. But that's probably the best option you have. Very pretty blocks!
This is something I struggle with too. I love when I can spin them but it doesn't always work out. I guess that is why I applique a lot!
Love your wonky stars! Your quilt will be great.
I just press the heck out of them and try to get as flat as possible. Sorry, not much help. Your blocks are looking great - love the wonky stars.
I press the heck out on mine, too.
In December I think I'll sash all my little 6.5" blocks so I don't have to fight nesting all those block seams.
Lovely blocks, especially your wonky stars. I would go for pressing the heck out of them also. And sashing is a great option to take the bulk out of the seams.
I have no pressing advice, but it looks like others have great things to share with us!
I'm not sure which is the best way to iron them but I see how the fabric sits flattest
Great blocks! I also "spin" the centers open, that's much easier to quilt!
Most of the time I will spin the seams but if I know that I will be using sashing I don''t worry about the outer seams at all.
No advice that others haven't already given. I like your wonky stars.
To me the more intersections in a small block the more seams I press open. I'll have to play around with spinning as I've never done that before.
Nice wonky stars!! Those look fun!
I have never done the spinning seams and I always think I'm going to. I've got to remember to do that. Pretty blocks.
Dank je over de vriendelijke opmerking over mijn kleindochter. Ik vind je wonky stars prachtig.
