For anyone who is having trouble with the 1/4 inch try this: Take some scraps and cut them into short 2 1/2 inch strips. Just short. Say 3-4" long. Sew them together. Press. Measure. The should measure 4 1/2". If they do then you know you are sewing them correctly. If not, move your needle or your guide until when you sew them together and press they come out correctly. I hope that makes sense.

The problem that irritates me the most is it takes me to the bottom of the last page instead of my last read post. I have to backtrack sometimes through pages to find my last read and I know I miss a lot of your posts so if someone asks me something and I don't answer please ask again.

I tried to answer your question, but it wouldn't load, still having trouble with posting. Something wrong with the site, gremlins in the machine. Will try again.If you make your blocks 10-1/2 by 10-1/4 they will not fit properly when you do a set of directions down the road.. Mr. Ripper will be your best friend as Luannh said LOL Since you are a beginner, and this is a learning experience, I highly suggest you try and fix them at this point. If you don't feel it is worth the effort, I will try to add something in the next set of directions to help you fix your problem. However, if you make something bigger than this little quilt, every row will compound the wrong measurements and you will not be able to fix it. Hope I'm not being preachy, and hurting your feelings, but I did stress the 10-1/2" width.
