squaring up
Quick question: do you "square up" each section of a block, or just square up each block when it is completely sewn?
Hope that makes sense... and thanks! |
When all the blocks are done, I square them up then.
|
I square up each section of the block as I'm constructing it. Especially flying geese and half square triangles.
|
I am one of those that square up every sub-section of the block. When I do, I find that the resulting block is much flatter, squarer and closer to the size that I want in the end.
Then when all the blocks are complete, I do the final squaring up so that they are all the sane finished size. |
if you know the sizes of each cut piece, then you would check them as you use them. but usually you square up your completed blocks. always use a ruler with a 45 degree line you can place from corner to corner to maintain squareness.
|
It depends... I always square up any patch with an angle, like a HST or flying goose, then check the block for square when it's done.
|
I cut so that the piece is square or to size. That means that each HST, QST, or such are also squared after sewing. Then will square each block.
|
All tips in this area are so welcome. I don't mind squaring up a block, but due to space the squaring up of a quilt is what I dread.
