In this lesson of my video quilt along I teach you how to review your blocks and decide which ones need to trim down to size, which need to be re-done, and how you can trim them up to get all your blocks as equally sized as possible. I also show you how to use a rotating rotary cutting mat and go over my preference in ruler options for squaring up 12.5" x 12.5" quilt blocks.
This lesson assumes you have completed all 12 (or more) quilt blocks in the Crafty Gemini Video Quilt Along. If you are new to this quilt along click here to watch the entire series from the beginning: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLABBAA89EA1D18609&feature=mh_lolz
