OK...
I'm probably a day late and a dollar (material) short.
I am making a D9P quilt, lap size for a Xmas gift. One tutorial I found online said that I should "square up" the blocks before I cut them into the 4 pieces. I looked online and on YouTube for more information on how to do the "square up" thing but didnt find anything, so I just started cutting. Do you think I'll have problems now?? I guess the part that confused me was that if you put the block (bottom left) on a square and trim the top and right side, then all nine blocks wont be the same size as you will be cutting the top three and the right three? Does that make sense?? How else would you "square" a block like this?? Should I continue with the blocks as they are?
Thanks guys..you are the best!!
