This is going to be my new quilt, just started this D9P today, making it with 2 charm packs. Should I finish all my blocks before I square up my blocks?

This is my fav quilt! I just finished a top ... but it looks nowhere NEAR as nice as this one! Which charms did you use? Can't wait to see it finished. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, I used Moda Beach House Charms, I still have 18 more blocks to make, will take me awhile.

Ooh! Thanks for sharing that info! I just LOVE the color scheme, very me. You'll be surprised how quickly you'll get it done! Mine came out perfectly square like 45"x45" I think. I'm wondering how I could arrange one to make a bigger "full size" quilt?

Anyways, can't wait to see this one, please keep us posted with pics?! :)

Very pretty! I would finish all the blocks first. Then square them up with the smallest block. I tend to have difficulty with being exact, so that's how I do it.

My blocks will be set 4 X 5 with a 1" inner border and a 5" outer border, should end up about 64x77 I hope. I also have a hard time being exact, so I will piece all 20 blocks and square up when done, I also have a hard time squaring up my blocks, just not sure how to do it.

Do your have a 6 inch square ruler? I have a 6 and a 12 1/2 (maybe it's 12?) that are very helpful in squaring up blocks. I tend to have a hard time being exact too.

I have a 15" square ruler. My blocks are 13.5" before I square them.
