Here are my 9 inch "T" blocks. I LOVE how the "T" is more prominent in some blocks than others, depending on the values. Be sure those geese are pointing IN or you end up with another design - not a bad design, just unexpected. I plan to set them on point, with a zig-zag setting, inspired by one of Bonnie Hunter's gorgeous projects.
After making 6 blocks, and having some pressing problems with bulk, I realized that when making the large corner HSTs, I should press to the LIGHT, and the construction is much easier, more exact, and it lays flatter.
Below is the back, showing pressing direction. In order to get those geese points to lay flat, I clipped the seam allowances to near the seam line and pressed them IN. That solved a second pressing problem.
As usual, I am using what I have on hand - a never ending supply.
Looks as if you do some creating pressing of seams too! Always a challenge with bulky intersections...

OH, another project for my favorites file! Love these blocks, and thank you for the pressing tips!
ReplyDeleteYep...you have to let the fabric tell you the best pressing direction.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks...drop dead gorgeous fabrics and a great post as usual.
Finally some cooler weather here in Indiana!

I like those *T* blocks.
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks!! You have me wondering ... which of Bonnie's projects inspired this? :)
