Pressing matters -

 

 

So I took the time today to press all SIXTEEN strata - 

 

Before I cut the segments using my die cutter - 

For my Upstairs/Downstairs - Winter's Grandeur - Champagne

The strata lie much flatter if I don't sew them into "tubes" yet -

 

 

There are two matching strata in each set - 

 

And I can get three blocks from one strata -

 

So each set of two makes six matching blocks - super simple -  

 

I'll fan-fold them in thirds and layer both of the same set on top of each other - 

 

Then run them through - peel them off - roll them up - and sort them later - 

The strata are really pretty - 

So this is going to be another pretty top -

 

 

Once I get the segments cut and sorted - 

 

I can put them on a cookie sheet and have them ready to go - 

 

And I can go back to playing with the Sakura Churn Dash blocks -

Island Batik -  Sakura - which is no longer available - sorry -

 

The pieces on the left are the remains of the first set of strips in the flat pack - 

 

The second set of strips is on the right - 

 

So many more pretty blocks to make - 

 

After I finish my chores - LOL - ;))

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
