But then, I only dust every two weeks, so I would be the wrong person to make commentary on someone who wanted to Martha Stewart it up.

Do I block my finished quilt? Never. I think this is mainly for those who show their quilts. Mine are to be used, loved and worn out! :D Even my wall hangings I don't do this on, and they always look fine up on the wall, nice and square.

Not on your life! What's the use? Throw it on the bed and USE it! Sounds like my SIL who is taking a quilting class to learn "the right way" to make a quilt. Where is the joy of creation if you do everything "the right" way?
