Thanks! I found that if I didn't starch during the cutting process, my pieces stretched too much to allow the blocks to lie flat. Then I went crazy with the starch and the inner blocks stayed put while the outer blocks stretched along the border, making the border measurements really wonky. I had to wet, stretch, and block the quilt overnight before adding the borders on. Good luck!
