I have a block (supposed to be for the yellow and blue swap) that has a lot of seams and so it's not quite measuring up to it's supposed finish size.

For the first time I have drawn a square on the corkboard, wet the block, and pinned it to the square to make it the right size. There was definitely enough movement in the seams to get to the full size, it's not distorted at all and none of the seams look wavy or odd, so I'm really pleased so far.

My question is, what happens when I take the pins out when it's dry. Will it hold to the proper size quite happily, or will it shrink back?
