Trimming blocks to same size due to user error :)
I am making a Japanese X and plus block quilt. I am very new to machine sewing and have been working on my cutting and 1/4 seams, sewing on the diagonal etc but have A LONG way to being good. These blocks are supposed to be 8 inches at this point but already one in three is off enough that I would not join it to the others.
Here is my question I would like to get a 7 1/2 ruler and trim them all when I am done so they will match better. MY question is how to best ensure that the outside pieces will meet up nicely with the ones on with side while trimming. I can find lots of sites about trimming "down" but not trimming to eliminate funkiness,, Any help appreciated!
