Maple Leaf - Revisited
Mardi, I don't understand why you would now want to put a 1" border
around each block? It seems to me that ending up with a =BD" finished strip tagged on to each block only looks as though you want to avoid joining seams where there are points to match. If this is the case, then you could avoid that by adding a strip of b/g fabric to the top block of one row and the bottom block of the next - offsetting the other leafs in the block by the width of the strip you add. Jennifer in Ottawa ------ Mon, Jul 14, 2003, 7:44pm (EDT+4) From: (M.=A0Wetmore) Ok, I have pretty much decided to put a 1" border around each block using the background fabric from the block. Then I will sew everything together in a "tossed" manner. I think it will look great, but what I am wondering is if I am creating a real problem for sewing rows together. If you go to: http://www.mardiweb.com/quilts/mapleleaf/mapleleaf.html, the second picture shows the backside. The way the seams are pressed is pretty much how they have to go. Am I going to end up with bulky seams where the rows meet at the intersection of each block?
