Right now, once the block is assembled, I will press but then don't spend any energy squaring the block up. Now that I have a lot of blocks to lay out and look at, I am going to start making decisions on settings for specific blocks. My current vision is to set them on point or at least half on point. The solid I used is a Bella color called Porcelain which turns out to be hard to get. I've been stockpiling to make sure I have enough. Time to break out the calculator and see how much I am actually going to need!
I've made a few more blocks for the scrappy trip around the world quilt. Perhaps I will call this one 'right turn' because once I had sewn and seam ripped, I am assembling the strips randomly. (See my blog post here.)
I am putting the light color in a consistent position so there will be some order to the quilt when done. I am using a jelly roll and did need to incorporate a light from a different Fig Tree line. The quilt will finish at 48 by 48. The colors of this fabric line are just beautiful.
Happy Stitching!

Good for you for keeping up! Love your scrappy!
