For some reason in one of my BOM's one of my blocks turned out HUGE!!! I don't know, maybe I forgot to trim the pieces down. But anyway, if I trimmed the whole block down it looked horrible. Rather than to redo the whole thing I added a few more pieces and it will be the "medalion" block for my quilt.

However, next time, you might consider doing the squaring with each of the subcomponents. You'll be happier with your finished product. Another option for the future is to paper piece the tricky parts whenever possible. This usually produces a good result also. |
Thanks so much for the suggestions. Wouldn't you know it, the blocks with star points or triangles are the ones that are larger than the 12" they're all supposed to be. I will try to alter only the most obvious ones and smile at the rest! :lol:

Do people really think those quilts are examined so closely by others that little things like matched seams and points ae noticed? People just see the pretty pattern and colors. That doesn"t mean I don't try to get mine right, but I don"t stress out over it. My quilts aren't being made for contests.
