Wow, Scissor Queen, your comment about how you piece together your blocks, never thought of that! I'll see how that works with my next quilt
I couldn't understand what the problem was with borders. But now i understand why it is important to square up your quilt before putting on the border. But I use the method of cutting to the length plus a little more and cutting off the excess. I didn't know you're supposed to have the exact measurement and ease in. thanks all.
