I learned two variations that you may already know about.<br /><br />1. if you sew another seam, 1/2" away (towards the excess fabric) then cut between the 2 seam lines (leaving each at 1/4"), you will have created a bonus half-square triangle with the excess fabric, instead of "wasting" it.<br /><br />2. Before you trim away the excess fabric (or make the bonus half-square triangles), press the top-most triangle on top of it, so that the fabric underneath acts as a square-up pressing guide. I can't tell you how many times I have cut away the excess fabric then pressed the topmost triangle only to find that I was skewing that triangle. Once I started using the fabric underneath as a square-up guide, I haven't had any more problems with the block coming out to the correct measurements.Shelley: the Dread Pirate Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13431557867878383150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111251612193454477.post-21054128321080692682014-06-12T10:37:26.182-06:002014-06-12T10:37:26.182-06:00Dolly,
