If anything the blocks sit better/flatter and pull less, being more stable. The fabrics I am using are quite a fine weight quilting cotton. If I was using a design with many tiny pieces then I may need to use a scant 1/4” seam.Karen @ Pieces of Contentmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00719349569606790410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-75837827736359646442015-04-17T02:25:22.356+10:002015-04-17T02:25:22.356+10:00The larger seam is an interesting feature.
