THE FIX FOR SWEDISH CROSSES

I cut a new triangle  and pinned carefully ...
that triangle wanted to stretch and stretch...

I was hoping that the seam allowance
would hold the squares' seam together???

And it did...;))))

I had to sew and rip out a few times,
 but 
here is how it finished up

I actually didn't have any plain white fabric (!!)
So I used some white on white and
decided to call it
 "charming"...;)))
enough of worrying...
right? ;)))


I am marking with a hera marker 
and quilting the little white squares
diagonally throughout...

No more marking pencils for me...
