eo-5 Willow Quilt Final Assembly

The biggest challenge I am finding with paper piecing comes when it is time to quilt the top to the back. The variation in the thread grain across the block can result in something that does not sit very flat.

I suspect that a pro at paper piecing would be mindful to always cut scraps to result in pieces that have a uniform grain alignment. I will need more practice before I can do this.

I chose the same red fabric for the backing and the binding. I also pinned the quilt as densely as I could. The quilting was done with both white thread for the frame and red thread for each block.
