Tips for Success
To ensure your GO! New York Reflections Quilt turns out beautifully, keep these tips in mind:
- Pressing is Key: Press your seams carefully after each step. This makes a huge difference in how your blocks come together and the overall flatness of your quilt top.
- Chain Piecing: Speed up your sewing by chain piecing identical units. This is especially helpful with repetitive blocks like half-square triangles.
- Stay Organized: Keep your cut pieces organized by fabric and block unit. Labeling can be a lifesaver, especially for patterns with many similar-looking pieces.
- Test Your Stitch: Before you start sewing your quilt pieces, always test your stitch length and tension on a scrap piece of fabric.
- Enjoy the Process: Quilting should be a joyful experience! Don’t be afraid to take breaks and savor the journey of creating something beautiful with your own hands.
