Day 7: Sew and Press, sew and press..

Today after my in-laws left, I started piecing the quilt top. I had to move the operation into the living areas of the house. My sewing machine is set up on the kitchen table, the ironing board in the guest room and I haven't moved the cutting stuff yet but will need to soon.

I started off by joining the 6.5" x 6.5" blocks (chain stitching) to their corresponding 6.5" x 6.5" blocks.

Next, I set the seams by pressing them...

folded the two blocks open and pressed again. Then, pin'em up... sew and press again until you have all the pieces sewn together into a quilt top.
