Please DO NOT put your squares in the dryer!!!!! I read a similar tip before I began a triple irish chain with 1 1/4 finished squares..... I had to then sit and trim ravels off over 3000 little squares before sewing! Not fun!!!! It has taken me 3 years to get this one done because I was so frustrated. I knew if I ever put it away I would not finish this one ever. So I spent a lot of time not sewing at all. They were not I the dryer very long at all either.
