Seams Galore

October 2020


The Pinwheel Puzzle quilt has many seams to match, to sew over, and to press. I tend to use a lot of pins when dealing with multiple seams or a long seam. I think it's a throwback to the days I made clothing.

All the blocks are sewn together, and this week I will be adding borders - a thin one and a wide, outer border. I ordered the outer border fabric on Etsy, and it arrived on Saturday.

  1. I tend to pin a lot and I agree I think it's because I made clothing as well. I like your new blog look.

  2. Yes, I hardly use any pins in my quilting until it comes to matching seams! Can't wait to see them together!

  3. Like you, I like to use pins to match seams. Also, when I'm adding an outer border, pinning helps me make sure all of that length is evenly distributed. You're probably right about the pinning habit coming from learning to make garments.

    BTW - love the new look of your blog!!

  4. You NEED lots of pins to keep all those seams straight and matching. LOL

    As my Dad always told me ... the PREP work is often more important that the actual job.
