Quiltaddiction - I'm glad you like your block. I cut up some of the very last bit of that blue/green pattern fabric I had in my stash. But I thought the teal matched it perfectly.

Received a beauty of a block from rose irish. Thank you so much! I will post pics tomorrow. Also received your F8 safe and sound.

createfourpaws, I have only received a few that actually measure what they are suppose to. That is the chance you take on a swap, pretty much you can only hope. Just like using 100% cotton instead of cotton blends. Then there are those that you don't get a block back, sometimes it happens. What I do is either put a border on them(sashing so to speak) or they are not in my quilt that I had planned and then I make either throw pillows for the bed and slip covers. Don't think April can do much, they have sent and they have fulfilled their end of the deal.....whether it was correct or not. You can send a PM and let them know, just not too cool to do it in a public post or you may get in trouble. Ask me how I know..............

I've got a couple in the last boom that weren't exact but close enough to be able to adjust it when I put the quilt together. I just left it alone. They do make a 12 1/2 square template. I just bought one and am using it for this boom. It really works out well.

What is the best way to handle things when you get a block back that is not 12 1/2 square? I am not looking to cause any trouble, just want some advice. I will not point fingers at anyone.

Thanks for you input and help.

After Boom 8, I got a 12 1/2 template and it has helped me a lot.
