Squaring Up When It Counts
I'm curious...for those of you that compete in your local fairs and quilt shows...how much extra care do you take to square up, make sure the points match, etc? I'm considering entering the local quilt competition at our county fair in 2021. I need to start now, if I have any chance of finishing on time. What steps do you take to make sure that your quilt is square?
How about how your points match up? Is perfection a must? How do you square up an entire quilt without lopping off the points?
For squaring up: Do you square up each block? Each row? A groups of blocks? The entire quilt? How important is it to the judge that your quilt is perfectly square?
How about how perfectly points meet up? Does it have to be absolutely perfect? If so, how do you get to perfection?
Inquiring minds want to know.
