I set the scaling on my printer at "NONE" and amazingly the block turned out dead on 12.5 inches. You don't have to worry about your seams. Just sew on the line and everything will be great.

However, I have a question. This block looks as though it is going to turn out at 11.5". Am I right? Do I need to scale it up to match the January block or can I just add a small background border when it is finished and squared up?
As I am quite new to quilting, I am not too sure what to do for the best.

When you printed your pattern did you reset to "none"? My first pattern was set on another default (I think it was size to fit or something like that) and it printed out and I measured it and where it was supposed to be 6 1/2" it was actually just shy of 6". Hope this helps :) I'm going to attempt mine tomorrow.

love, love, love everyones efforts so far..it is incredible to see how different each persons block turns out, i think that is half the fun of the BOMS..and some people are just so darned quick and get theirs made while I am still thinking about it!
I on the other hand have had my fabrics sitting there looking at me for the last few days to see which colors I liked the best!
So I have now finally cut all my pieces out and numbered the piles and hopefully over the weekend will have some time to start putting it together.
Looking forward to seeing more of everyones wonderful creations! :lol: :lol:
