beckyfiedler OFFLINE Posts: 61 Thank you received: 89	I pressed the bulkiest seams open. I also tried to notice which way the seams "wanted" to go. I'm attaching a picture of the back. I would never presume to suggest mine is "the right way" but this worked for me. I notice some inconsistencies but these choices made sense at the time. Becky Attachments: IMG_0193.jpg (69KB)

Bean 53 The only place I see mention of pressing was on page 9 but it is only on pressing paper pieced seams, not after you tear the paper off and sew all the sections together to build the block. I was rather disappointed in the Month 1 video, I thought she might give tips on the actual block. Her organization was impressive though.

I love the quilt in your avatar, what is the name of the pattern?
Happy sewing
Judy

bean53 OFFLINE Posts: 47 Thank you received: 36	In reading through the pattern, I don't see any mention of pressing the seams. At least not for this first month. Has anyone actually sewn the star together yet? How did you press it?
