I am like you, my blocks never come out the right size, I guess I don't measure right, or my pressure foot is not a
1/4 inch. But I just cut them down or put them in a pile and when I have enough of that size i make a sampler quilt........

Relax :thumbup:
I would square up the smallest blocks too. Then PRESS don't iron. If you iron you will distort the blocks since they are on the bias. I think your blocks turned into a quilt will be gorgeous, really just relax and go slowly. It'll be wonderful when you get over the hump.

did you wash your fabric? If not, then you can just measure the smallest and cut them all down..
IF yes, then spray them with water, and BLOCK them out with the iron, then measure the smallest and cut down. You might find that after they are blocked, they won't be so bad! :thumbup:

Isn't this the greatest board? All the great tips and support? We've all been there and some of us have had that very thing happen. Your quilt will be beautiful, square them up and think about the other suggestions as well. At the end of the day it will be gorgeous!
