AAQI Quilt Progressing

Here’s my progress since yesterday. Still not a whole lot to look at but there’s a flower!

I used a tip I read on a blog post (wish I could remember which one so I could give them their due!) about running your Hera marker along a ruler to mark the lines for ironing bias pieces for stems.  I don’t yet have a Hera marker so I used a mechanical pencil with the lead retracted.  It worked amazingly well.  The fabric just irons right over and my stems are narrow, approximately 1/4″.

Edited to add: The tip was from Janet in Australia (her blog is Quiltsalott)  and she wrote about it in this post.  Thank you, Janet!
