Anyone ever do this
I cut out pieces for 24 blocks. I have everything more or less sewed together. I was working on 1 block. Sewing what i had done. I realized it wasn't going to work together. The pieces i cut out were 3 3/8'' finished width, etc. With the different shape's I cut out, the length's will vary. Anyhow, everything I have sewed together, I will have to cut to everything down to 3 1/4'' width. I hope what I wrote, will be understandable[ATTACH=CONFIG]566786[/ATTACH]

Yes, I've had that happen. I try to remember to make a sample block before cutting out all the pieces. Sometimes I do get carried away though and just cut like crazy! No matter what, I figure out a way to make it work. Don't mind the challenge actually.

Yes, I have done this. I did it with a fence rail and had a heck of a time trying to recut it. If I am making a block for the first time I always make a sample block and measure it every step of the way to see if I have to adjust my 1/4" seam a bit. I generally find that a scant 1/4" seam works better because it accounts for the fold of the fabric.
