Continue in this manner untill you have the desired number of blocks sewn.
Next we will prepare the blocks for sewing together.We have to square the blocks so they are all the same size. Place your large square on the block, lining the center strip on your quilt block with the line running diagionally across your square. The line should be in the center of the center strip.
Move the ruler up or down to where you are sure you will have the whole block within the size you want your finished block to be. Using your rotary cutter, cut across the right side and top of your block. Now rotate your block and line it up along the chosen size on the left side and bottom.
Your size line should be just to the outside edge of your cut edges. Cut excess from top and right side. Continue untill all your blocks are square and the same size.
