Good morning everyone!!!
Sorry for this silly question but I am making a D9P (this is my very first quilt); do I square up my blocks before cutting them down in addition to once they are cut down or do I just square them up after? Thank you!!! |
I'm interested in this too. I'm in the process of making a D9P(working on the inner border). I did square up the 9 patch blocks before cutting them and reassembling them. Squaring blocks is an excrutiating process for me-I'm never certain I'm doing it right.
|
I squared my blocks both times - after sewing the original 9 patch, and again after sewing the block back together.
|
Thank you so much for the answer!!! I just wanted to be sure I was not being to square :lol: .......

I do both times as well.

I started being more careful in cutting and using a 1/4 inch seam when sewing and stopped squaring my blocks I can't seem to figure out how to square them and even watching youtube didn't help. I am a self taught quilter and have no one near me to teach me how so I am just more accurate in all I do now.
