I'm working on some English paper piecing at the moment and I am intrigued by your method. How do you do these?

Line up your edges and sew a scant 1/4" be sure to leave your 1/4 open at the start and at the end, for the second seam don't cross over the seams stop at 1/4 again Be sure to back stitch each time you stop at the edges. sew around all the blocks the same finger press as you finish each seam. (It is a little hard to explain with just words sometimes we need pictures. ) I hope this helps you. You are making (Y) seams by hand.

I understand. Thank you. I find paper piecing very therapeutic so I will stick to that method.

Oh by the way, these are hand pieced but not the English method.
