Make sure to follow the pressing guide in the pattern, this will ensure the seams nest together nicely and make matching the points much easier.
 
Once the quilt top is together, step back and admire your fabulous quilt.

Now I was going to share with you my quilting tips this week but as I have to announce the Week 5 winners I thought I would put it in an extra newsletter.
Just in case you win the amazing prize from The Quilt Rookery and don't have to quilt your quilt! How cool would that be!
 
However, next week I will be sharing all my tips for straight line quilting on your domestic machine in case you don't win. I love the look it creates and it's easier to achieve than you think. I hope I can give you enough confidence to try for yourself.
 
I will be stalking the #balderdashquiltSAL hashtag all week to see your finished quilt tops. I hope you had an awesome time and love your finished quilt!
