An excellent article by Rachel Hauser provides guidance. She covers how to determine which blocks can be squared up and which ones can’t. She also walks you through the squaring up process using differently sized and shaped rulers.
Whether you’re new to squaring up blocks or have been doing it for awhile you’re sure to find many helpful tips in this informative article.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
