I square everything. In my mind, the journey from start to finish of making a quilt is a long one. Why would I settle for imperfection at the end? Of course, here's a helpful tip: Square each block as you're making them. When you've sewn them all together, there's a pretty good chance your quilt will reflect all that painstaking care you've given it in the process. Time, money, effort? Try to finish strong!
