I can't wait to make it myself--someday. :) Love all of those little bits of fabric finding a home in such a wonderful quilt!<br />LOL I have never seen book pressing on quilts before. When my daughters and I did a lot of pressed flowers we would at times employ this method (sometimes with books and sometimes cinder blocks)before they got their flower presses.<br />I don't know that I have ever smelled a Mayflower--but now I want to!

Yours is wonderful with those tiny center squares and how you used the same light fabric. You come up with the best names for your quilts. I'm with you about getting down and then ungracefully trying to get back up! Great books to use for pressing.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04492645548495218076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438079864390886446.post-61883136564470640712020-04-30T15:43:26.445-07:002020-04-30T15:43:26.445-07:00I'm still trying to wrap my mind around all th...I'm still trying to wrap my mind around all those teeny- <br />tiny squares, so very many of them!

I can hear you saying BOOK PRESS. ;-)<br />What a ingenious way to press those pesky pieces.. of course you didn't have to make them SO small, you know!! Actually it came out great and I'm tempted to do the same thing... however, my pices have been cut at 1.25" so they'll finish at 3/4".

Your piecing is perfect! I might have to try the book press idea (do I have enough big, heavy books?) I sometimes cheat and use spray sizing.

Clever way to press the center. <br />This is just a wonderful little quilt makes me want to run upstairs and try it.<br />I am not familiar with a May flower. I love tiny spring ground cover flowers. I saw a purple patch at the state park yesterday. <br />Please add me for an April mini. I made it early in the month, my quarantini quilt. <br />I already have a plan for May. <br />Thanks for keeping us all inspired Wendy!<br />Take CareBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08619642267222624728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438079864390886446.post-48197269890902224592020-04-30T03:46:42.592-07:002020-04-30T03:46:42.592-07:00Unique way to press your center squares.
