This may be a silly question to some but how do you block a quilt? It is beautiful by the way

Really like the border choice, it adds so much with the colors in the quilt. Great job.

I have some cat and dog buttons I plan to pin to the doorway and in the windows after it dries. I washed it and am blocking it now. It's not perfect, but it's done and ready to deliver tomorrow.

She'll love it!
