Hello Shiny Crafty People and welcome back to the channel!
Today I'm answering a question from my friend and YouTube Subscriber PAT DYE from Ohio who wanted to learn how to square up a quilt block.
I've met Pat in person cause she's the mother of a dear friend of mine and while I was there she showed me some of her really great quilt work. Pat is still an amateur, but she's super eager and she wanted to learn how to square up a quilt block so that her quilts will be flatter and more professional-looking.
So while I teach some of that in this video, I also want to say that PERFECT IS NOT REQUIRED! My quilts are never perfect, even though they may look pretty good from the other side of a computer or phone screen. I happen to believe that perfection is near impossible and should be reserved for machines.
Instead, let's aim for unique and comfortable. If big puckers and off-sized blocks are uncomfortable, then let's fix them. But a funky block and some no-so-straight lines that still make for a comfortable quilt are unique and deserve to be shared!
Anyway, I hope you like this short tutorial and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send me your other questions. You can leave a question in the comments or you can join our Facebook group and answer them there!
