Blocking

I figure I can take it back, wash it, then block it flat after I sew a sleeve on the back.

I just love how this looks and feels. Close-up pictures, warts and all.

What does blocking do and how do you do it, I have heard about this a couple times and I don't know what it means

Here's about blocking a quilt, one that has the binding on and one before binding. I have always done it before binding but I just wanted to get this quilt completed. I have two 4'x8' sheets of the pink insulation board that I lay out to do it.
