| Pat's Flags 61 x 72 inches Quilt of Valor |
The paper foundation for the blocks was very thick (almost the weight of interfacing), and I suspect that was the why the project became a UFO.
I knew the longarm volunteer would have difficulty with the thickness of the blocks, so I pondered the situation for a few days. I tried dissolving the paper without any luck.
The only solution I could think of was to trim the paper close to the sewing lines. I was relieved that I finished trimming all the blocks without nicking the fabric or snipping the sewing.
Once the bulk of the paper was off of the blocks, the quilt top came together easily and quickly.
Pat's Flags is QOV #123
