Great advice! Last time I sent tops with blocks that had bias in the borders, and received them. Its always best to do as you recommended. This time, I may even baste the edges if I send with bias in the blocks. Its amazing how much stretch happens without much handling of the top by the end of the project. Live and learn. Hugs!!
