The mattress stitch is arguably the best way to seam handknit projects. Whether we're talking sweater pieces or blocks for an afghan, mattress stitch joins pieces simply and beautifully.

Shelly recently brought her Building Blocks pieces in to our Tuesday group to show off and get some help with putting everything together.
