Making a Family Quilt: Iron Squares & Strips

Video Transcript

"Okay, once you have all your squares cut you want to go ahead and go back and iron them. Obviously once they're cut up it's kind of, you've got to kind of guess at what needs to be ironed at what, on what level, what setting. A lot of times when you iron it the edges will not look as straight again so you can go back and snip off edges to square it off again. I don't iron it until after I have the squares cut because it's just impossible to try to iron the ones with all the seams and everything in it, it'd take you forever. And if you have, like this is a velvet piece, I don't want to iron it on that side, but I can iron it on the back as long as I have it set low enough. And as you're ironing them, just go ahead and stack them up. And you can have all different size of blocks as long as you kind of figure out a way to piece them together."
