I’m making the quilted ironing board cover, but am having trouble. When you cut the blocks out of the tube, how big are they. I’m a beginner at quilting so I need help. I made the 10″ square like you said but that won’t fit my tube, it’s to big. Help me please. Joan Learn
Hi Joan – here’s a great video that should help you out with the tubes:

Let me know if you are still confused after watching. Thanks, Jenny
