I am on the road again…posting from a bed that is not mine…tomorrow I will be back home.  It’s hard to do blog posts when your not at home on your own computer…doing blog posts from a tablet is the pits!  So this is the reason for the skimpy post…But it is so much fun to be able to share my blocks with you all!

Block 6 sure was fun!!!  

Sunflower by Carrie Nelson…a tiny bit of appliqué…I have been using the Appliquick method of needle turn appliqué lately….I made one block scrappy and other pretty basic…Here are my two versions of Carrie’s block:

Qustion of the Week~Pressing: Pressing to one side vs. pressing open.
Clipping seams: I know this is something Jo has taught for years. Clipping seams so they can be pressed in different directions, parts pressed open, etc.  

Pressing for me is all about distributing the bulk…I worry about this mostly in small blocks…In larger blocks I might only press the last row seams open…but in little blocks I will press more of the seams open.  I do not however ever press HST seams open…especially if using triangle papers that have 1/8″ seam allowances.  These are not ever too bulky in my opinion…So because I press open I do not clip seams…once in a great while… but it is not my norm to clip seams…

I find that there are many ways of doing things and what may work for some others may not prefer it…so a lot of what we are questioning is about personal preference mostly than what the right way or the wrong way…but isn’t it fun to see what other prefer to do???

Thank you for the cool block Carrie! I love this little collage Carrie had on the Moda Blog last week so I stole it, as I did not have any extra pics to post this week!!!

Have a great Wednesday and have a blast making your Week 6 Sunflower block!

My Best
