Uneven Blocks
Hi everyone-
I made 30 blocks for a quilt and squared them up yesterday. However, when I started to try to put my rows together nothing is matching. They are all 10 " blocks but they are heart blocks and they don't sit straight in a row. Is there anything I can do to save this? I am so upset. I spent so much time on these blocks and someone is counting on me for this quilt. Thanks for all your help.

If you squared all the blocks to the same size, they should be lining up. If you are sashing between them, you need to use pins and ease the blocks to the sashing size. Mark your long sashing in the seam allowance to where the blocks should end up and pin to fit the marks.

I found out the hard way when I made the following 4x4 unit in a sampler quilt. I wasn't careful enough when I squared the blocks so the small yellow square at the corners of each block were slightly different sizes and did not line up to make a neat square. I wish I had just left them and eased to make the seams match. It would have been much easier.
