When Quilt Blocks Don’t Measure Up: A Troubleshooting Checklist

By Deb Messina on November 6, 2026November 6, 2026

Last week, I shared an article about things to check when our quilt blocks don’t measure correctly. There are so many reasons! It occurred to me that it would be handy to have all that information on one page – a troubleshooting checklist.

It took me a few days to make it happen, but here it is, and you can print it out and keep it in your sewing space so it’s handy when you have … that moment – when your quilt blocks don’t turn out quite the size they should be. No matter how long I’ve been stitching, it happens to me too.

I hope you find this troubleshooting checklist helpful!

Happy Stitching!
