Tips:
- In the video, I go into my own personal workflow of blockmaking on the Sassy Granny blocks. Obvs, this is the way it works out best for me. We are all so very different, so if my way isn’t for you, find one that’s more to your own liking. There is no wrong way!
- If you are blocks aren’t coming out the correct size, turn it over and measure your seam allowances with a ruler. Are they all 1/4″? More than likely this is where you’ll find an error when it comes to block size.
- Have fun! It’s a privilege to be able to carve out some time in your day to quilt. Be sure that you are enjoying it.
