Nah - that's my friend John.

When we were in Egypt together I was walking with him and an Egyptian said to me - "your husband, he has the legs of a camel"

Right, I'm off again. Get me rucksack out, ear muffs, gloves, neck gaitor, wooly jumper, socks, boots, very very waterproof bag to house my cigarettes and lighter, lippy (most important - never know who you may meet up a big hill).

And 30p for a cuppa after - oh, hang on, we are going to Settle.

do you iron the fabric first or after youve sewn the squares, is it ironing the seams afterwards that makes it neat?!?

Jac, have some confidence girl.

Just give it a go and see what happens. That's what I did. As others have said, if you make a mistake, learn from it.

jac press the material before
then sew, and press the seams all in one dorection for the forst strip, then they next way for the 2nd and back to the 1st way for the 3rd

maggie told me that and it makes it neater when you sew them together
