I can see doing this if its a wall hanging or if you are putting it in a show.

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.

I don't block, I don't quilt for show, I quilt for the quilts to be used. So why do that?
|
What is blocking
|
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?

Nope. I square mine up best I can and that has served me well.
