Rows of Slopes

It's time to sew this Slopes quilt together, I need the design wall back! The first row went together quickly.

So far so good,  but I did find that one block was trimmed to the wrong size, sigh. I'm pressing alternating rows to the right or left so that it'll nest well when I sew the rows together.
Once again, I'm amazed at how the row shrinks up so much when all the blocks are sewn together. Every single time it surprises me, what's that about? It's so hard for me to conceive of all those 1/4" seam allowances over the width of a quilt.
Four done already!I'm liking the sides where the pattern breaks down, the chaos on the edge is very delicious somehow.The secondary patterns are workin well to my eye too, so I'm happy with it.
