Hope for us blocking-challenged types
I hesitated to post about this here, since, technically, it's not from the book, although it is a Mason-Dixon project. Kay did a variation on the mitered-square that finally hooked me - the Partial Garter Miter. I've got enough completed that the assembly is starting to scare me. (Okay, I've only got 12 out of 80 finished. I scare easily.)
Anyway, I've come up with a blocking technique that I hope other miter-heads will find useful. With the help of 10-squares-per-inch graph paper and a spray bottle, I've turned my ironing board into a blocking board.
A real blocking board is probably in my future, but until then, this works a treat.
