adjustiung size of quilt
I am making doll quilts for a local charity and they want them to be 24" square. I am making them 3 -8" x3-8" blocks. I am cutting blocks 8 1/2" so when I am finished joing block the top measures 24 1/2" and after adding binding the tops still measure 24 1/2" since I am really not getting rid the 1/4" extra on each side of the top. Should I square the top to measure 24".? When making other quilts this is not a issue since 1/2" does not seem to make much difference.
