Thread: How do I make Holly square?

I need instructions for making this wall hanging/table runner
square. Also where to put the binding (how far away from
the outside stitching)

where did those pictures come from? Can't you contact the source.

Does the part that has been quilted measure the same at top & bottom. And, does it measure the same from side to side -top & bottom. If the quilted part is square, I would use my 12 x 12" ruler -placing it on the quilted border & square up the last unquilted border. Then after the corners are done, use the longer ruller to finish trimming the sides.

I take it to mean that she made this but now needs to "square it up" and minimize the fullness at the outer edge. My solution - can you wet it, then "block" it by pinning down to a board? I would only let about a half inch of the fabric show beyond the quilting lines to the start of the binding. NICE work! Wish I could hand quilt, but really don't have the patience. :wink:

Thanks. Yes, Paulswalia's description is what I meant
to say.........I'll try it.
