Block 7, or the second block in Segment 2 of the Lets Sew Quilt Along is an adorable iron design called Its A Pressing Issue by Karen at Tu-Na Quilts.
Once I cut the pieces, the iron went together beautifully! My biggest difficulty is pushing past the colors and textures that I always want to use, and create something out of the box and fun!
My block needs a good press, but I am happy with it!
I love this quilt along by Partners in Design!

I have finished the first block in Segment 2 of the Sew Let’s Quilt Along.
If you are not a quilter, then you may be wondering what the block is.
So I have put a few binder clips on my block for you to see. They are like clothespins. They come in different colors and different sizes, and are handy for all sorts of crafty things.
On my block, you see orange binder clips holding the binding in place before sewing it to the quilt.
I chose the lilac fabric because it reminds me of free motion quilting and I already had it in my stash.

Time to share an update on my May OMG (One Monthly Goal).
I had decided that it was time to get the Aunt Bea’s Parlor project out of the closet and finish up the borders.
I also said that I had issues with piecing the borders and that it was the pattern’s fault.
Ahem.
Turns out, as is often the case when I am involved, my issues were due to operator error.
Somehow the piecing just went together so much better when I took the time to mark and pin.
Go figure.
I am linking up with Elm Street Quilts. Check it out and see what other’s have accomplished for their May goals!
