True Blue Progress

I'm at the point of the quilt that I don't want to do.  This is usually what stalls a quilt and puts it into UFO mode.  Well, I'm going to try to complete at least two blocks per week to keep True Blue moving forward.

FAIL:

I don't like matching strip sets.  Then I don't like attaching them to corners.  Blocks do not lay flat for me!

I ripped the two apart while my son was at the dentist office.  Starch, starch, starch the center block. There, it is mostly flat.

Then attach again making sure I do not stretch the strip set unit.  That's better this round.

Oh ok.  That's getting better.  

Second block is now ok with just a little ripple I can live with in it.  Whew.  Next I'll slightly dread trimming the block and sewing it to the next.  But let's get the blocks done first.

And now I'm just showing off when I let you see my fancy, smancy, custom row placement markers -- and no, I didn't buy them on Amazon or Etsy.  Ha ha.  Oops, sorry for the blurry photo.  You get the idea.

True Blue Sew Along--American Patchwork and Quilting put out a pretty tempting quilt along that starts 1/15/2026.  It's called True Blue.  You can get the details here.
