I received these crooked printed squares of Snowmen on Motorcycles and ended up attaching a border to straighten them out eliminating the outside printed border.

ManiacQuilter2, that is mostly what I do. Then sometimes the little borders are not always the same width but as long as the blocks are the same size. Usually when I've done it the borders have not been all the same colors. This happens a lot when I use the little cloth book panels to make quilt blocks.

I've learned to check for grain lines on those panels before buying them now.

It might be to some but I'm not one to see how fast I can put a top together. I enjoy the easy going quilt patterns and do not rush thru them. As far as squaring up a crooked panel, yeah, I'm pretty quick at doing that now.
