Pressing, sorting and squaring

After sewing the rectangles together, I pressed open all the squares and began sorting by both color and value.  This will help me when I lay out the squares on the design wall.

I also had to square up the blocks to be sure they were 6" squares.  I usually try to avoid having to do this step by cutting accurately to begin with.  But for this quilt, I had some adjustments to make.  I used a rotary cutter, a six inch square ruler, and my turntable cutting mat.
