Mason Dixon KAL: Mitered Square Question

Mitered Square Question

For everyone that has finished a mitered square blanket, I was wondering if you blocked every miter individually or if you sewed them into blocks and blocked them? Thanks!

I blocked my miters before I stitched them together. It seemed to help with the seaming. And I didn't feel like I had a thousand things to do once I finished all the miters.

I started a No-Sew version and will block the 4-block.

I didn't block my garter stitch ones at all, but think you might have to in stockinette.

I blocked them with an a steam iron - faster and easier than handwashing and pinning...

I blocked them with a steam iron (see also: my mom blocked, I seamed). It was very helpful to flatten the selvedges for seaming. See the results here: http://onepotato.blogspot.com/2006/12/mason-dixon-mitered-square-blanket-and.html.

Good luck!

Block first. Then, if you used different kinds of yarn, as I did, they get closer in size to each other. It's easier to mattress stitch them together when they're flat and straight. I did batches of 6 - 8 at a time, and then sewed, so as not to go crazy at the end.
