Yes, we are hard on ourselves, but I do want to make one point. In swaps, I do not 'square up'. I don't want to use blocks with blunted triangles. Leave it to me, the receiver, to square things up if desired. I can always fudge in my sewing to keep sharp triangle edges for a block that isn't exact, but if you cut it off, I can't fix it. They end up in the orphan block box, not the intended quilt. If your block is off more than 1/4 inch, you need to resew, not chop it.
