I am trimming the Red blocks down to size. (Duh!)
I use my big cutting ruler marked with blue painter's tape to guide me.
I have about one third of the blocks left to trim.
Most of the time the trimmings land in the wastebasket.
These are the blocks I have trimmed so far. I can't wait to start sewing the blocks together.

I hate trimming. That's probably the only part of quilting that I don't like to do.
Painters tape is my friend in so many ways! lol
Trimming makes ALL the difference - tedious but oh so necessary.
Painter's tape, a great idea, and the finished and trimmed blocks are looking wonderful.
I'm new to quilting. Thanks so much for the painter tape trick! A definite "Why Didn't I Think Of That" tip.

I love the secondary pattern of the swirly peppermint (or is that the primary pattern?!?). Are you going to publish this pattern...it is way, way cool and I have tons of red and white modern fabrics...
