Lily And Will!

I started a Lily and Will charm pack quilt today.  I love this cute fabric collection by Bunny Hill Design for Moda.

I laid it out, running the same colors diagonally and then started sewing it into strips.

Most of the charm packs come with 42 5 inch squares.  This works out perfect for 6 rows, 7 blocks long.

Before sewing the strips together, I pressed the seams opposite from each other.

Then I placed the pins at a diagonal at each seam.  This will hold both top and bottom fabrics in place so the corners all match up.

Tomorrow I will add borders and it will be ready to quilt.

Very cute! I am learning new things. Why do you press the seams opposite? I have been pressing mine open.
