cat, what if you rotate the blocks. that's what I did.
Klaws once it's all together, it will look beautiful. scrap quilts
have that way about them. then again, you could always donate.
I like to have one or two on hand ...just incase.

I like quilts that have a square in a square in a square. I think this will be another favourite.
I've been saving my medium brights. Is this the time to use them or should I keep them for next week's step?

The same with mine, but I think the size problem is because i'd used 4" squares to do triangles. Trimming is the key I hope!

I've hit a couple of snags ... just wondering if anyone else has had these problems.
2) after sewing these together, my blocks are coming out closer to 8 3/4 . I'm going to trim them to 8 5/8. Hope I don't lose too many points. Are these seams all pressed to the outside?

Edited to add: I would rather my block be larger than to lose all my points.

Judy, my 4 patch with triangles are ending up at 9". Will that be a problem. Will the 7 1/2" squares still work? Not sure what I did differently but mine are coming out that size and I did follow the instructions and trimmed to the proper size.

The answer is YES! Because I cut everything a bit big and forgot to trim down. I'm just going to let mine be bigger (right at 9") and I'm thinking my block will end up closer to 13" and I will just have to adjust the next step to accommodate the larger block. Nothing I haven't had to do before...
