LAYOUT TIPS •Lay out your blocks on a design wa LAYOUT TIPS•Lay out your blocks on a design wall, floor, or other space. Step back often to see the whole quilt at a glance and how the colors and patterns work together.•Spread Out Colors and Patterns: By evenly spreading colors and patterns, ensure no two similar colors or patterns are clustered together. This helps maintain a harmonious and eye-catching layout. Remember to take a step back and view your layout from a distance. This fresh perspective can reveal any areas that might feel too heavy in one color or pattern, helping you to achieve a balanced look. •Snap a Photo: A quick photo of your layout can help you see the overall composition and identify any problem spots. Adjust as needed until you're happy with the final look!#tanglequilt #stashworkqal #southerncharmquiltsMachine from @jukihomesewingSewing cabinet from @arrowsewingSnips from @havels_sewing

Pressing for #tanglequilt When I take the time t Pressing for #tanglequilt When I take the time to set my seams before pressing, I get better results for my blocks, especially when it comes to strip piecing. I always end up with just the tiniest tension while sewing, and setting my seams corrects that and makes the patchwork more pliable.My iron is the Maven 125s from @reliableFabrics are my #petalpassionfabrics collection
