- nearly invisible whip stitch
Whip_Stitch_F2B
I eventually settled on an invisible seam, created by doing a whip stitch with the needle being inserted away from you, first in the bottom panel and then back up through the top panel. (Or left to right, if you're working with the seam positioned vertically.) The seam stitches disappear into the slants formed by the meeting of the crochet stitch tops, as long as you use one of the colors being joined.

I'm a little confused on how to seam this together. Did you change colors for almost every square to match one of the colors that borders the squares you're sewing together??? I made a baby Babette & sewed it together with all the same color. I'm not crazy about the way it came out. I've finished all my blocks for the regular Babette but can't decide what color to sew it together with. If I understand you correctly, I need to use cordinating colors.

I left long tails when I tied off each square, and then used those tails to sew with. So the seaming yarn always matched one of the colors that were being joined. Hope that makes sense!

What a beautiful finish!! It pays to take the time to use matching colours - leaving tails is a great idea!
