Here are a few links for blocking and squaring up after quilting and before binding

Just google how to block a quilt and you will get loads of hits.
I usually square up the corners if they look catawampus, then bind.

BUT after reading the third link at Cowtown Quilts, if I ever decide to do the whole blocking production, her method makes the most sense to me.

*LOL* Guess who will get a nifty laser square for Christmas?

And guess who will say be saying "Honey, can I borrow your laser square?"
