Pressing -

As I go along is my usual thing -

But with a bargello -

I sometimes get caught when the 1" strips are pressed and then get in the way when I try to sew the next seam -

So I didn't press them on the left panel of my Imperial Bargello -

Until the very end -

You can see how itty bitty they are -

Those 1" strips finish at 1/2" -

Anyway - it's finally a flimsy -

Ta Dah!! -

Now you can see what I meant when I said - in this post - that it's all "downhill" from here -

I was working from the center of the quilt to the LEFT side -

And had passed the last pivot point so I didn't have to pay that much attention to whether the next strips went "uphill" or "downhill" -

They ALL went "downhill" -

The distance between my kitchen cabinets and the island is about 64" -
So this one is close to 60" wide x 80" long -

But I still have the selvage on both of the outermost strips -
So - say 58" x 80" trimmed -

I could add a 6" border to each side -
That would get it to about 70" x 80" -

Which a pretty decent size - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
