  6. Continue to pin and sew apple core shapes to complete top row.
     
  7. Repeat for a total of 11 rows.
     
  8. Pin and sew rows together to form quilt. Continue to press seams toward concave curves. Curved seam construction can yield lumps where all the seams intersect. Pinwheeling the intersection of these seams can help the rows lay flatter. Press all the seams toward the concave curves. Gently scrape your fingernail across the intersection to unsew the few stitches sewn in the seam allowance.
