Just a tip or two for pressing in general. Some pieces for this quilt are small (remember 1 1/2” squares”")….when working with small pieces starch your fabric prior to cutting. The less your fabric moves around the better the sewing and matching of points. Steam can either be your friend or your enemy. If you give steam and a heavy hand on the iron your pieces will warp. To keep your strip sets straight, pull out a ruler, press where you think straight is and confirm and adjust as needed. It is better at this step to have things straight than fight with them later. This is a great step for television or talking with friends.
