bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	I really like the lattice border too. It was easy and fun. I removed the paper as soon as the 2.5" blocks were trimmed. Most of the piecing went very easily, there were only a few I redid--mostly when 4 lattice came together--if they were off enough to be noticeable, I fixed them.

Question:
Guess how long it took me to do 72, 2-1/2 blocks tonight?

Answer:
Two complete movies!

Hubby lent me his computer, and I listened to two movies that I know pretty much by heart. It was nice. I've never done that before and I think I enjoyed my time a little more, and I think I finally understand paper piecing a little more. I still had to redo 2 of my 72 because I had the center piece with the wrong side out, but overall it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Tomorrow, I'm hoping to finish the remaining and sew them together to make the lattice. I thought I could finish all the blocks tonight but my eyes are tired (too much concentration I guess

)

I'm curious...which two movies did you watch?

You can follow Sue's instructions to press the seams open, or follow mine to twirl the intersections, or just press them to one side. Whatever works for you!
