Urban Candy:
There is a revision in the Urban Candy Pattern for squaring up your block. If you purchased this pattern before 03-01-12 and have not received an e-mail from me about the revisions please e-mail me at jennypedigo@comcast.net so I can send you the revised pattern. Thanks!
In the pattern it says to cut 4" x 10" rectangles from solid background fabric. If you cut 4 1/4" x 10" rectangles instead, it will give you a little bit more fabric to work with when squaring up your blocks. You may not need the extra 1/4", depending on how your blocks are going together.

Disclaimer:
I have found that when sewing the larger curve there tends to be more stretch because of the bias and more curve to sew, which can result in a not so square block. Be sure to sew 1/4 inch seams. Spray starching your fabric before you cut your curves out can also eliminate the fabric from stretching. I personally don't spray starch my fabric. I just make sure I'm not pulling to much on my fabric when sewing the curves.
