I made a smaller one (approx throw size...blocks are about 6"square) and am quilting 1/4" on each size of every seam. It's taking forever (using my domestic vintage Elna 62c). It's mindless sewing though, so it is relaxing, just time consuming....Sally Langston Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08947024909324503884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-91030616615088246172016-04-29T18:53:07.538-05:002016-04-29T18:53:07.538-05:00Super cute blocks!

Yes, you always start your stitching in the seam allowance (which is why I mark it on my patterns) and continue stitching 1/4" beyond the end of any stitch line.
