Celebration Sampler (Shop Hop) question
#1
For those of you who have started piecing the blocks, what size are they turning out to be? Mine are all just about 9 inches...but I'm confused because the instructions say "finished size: 9 inches" I thought that means once it's all pieced together as a quilt top the block will be 9" (so it would measure 9.5 now if that were correct)
I'm also struggling to get the half square triangles to match up with the cut squares and rectangles. (joining a hst square to a regular square...the hat squares seem to be too small). I'm using my 1/4 inch foot for everything. Any tips?
Thanks in advance!

I'm also struggling to get the half square triangles to match up with the cut squares and rectangles. And its driving me INSANE. I have 7 blocks finished and they are measuring at just a fraction over 9 inches too. I am wondering if its not an error in the pattern also. Hmmm. No matter what, I am going to finish this quilt even if I have to trim them all down to 9 inches.

I'm doing the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt and the blocks are supposed to finish at 6 1/2". All mine have finished at 6 1/4" (except 1 or 2). I figure since they're all the same size I can adjust the sashing and border sizes to fit my blocks. If they were all different I'd be concerned. If yours are all the same, the quilt should work out just fine. Good luck!
