Now my blocks are big enough but if I just take 1/4" seam to put them together my points aren't going to match up. I don't know why I am having so many problems with this quilt. It's frustrating.
I had the same problem. I think the center square should have been bigger but I already had mine cut, so they are what they are. I did cut the outside squares 3" to begin with because I didn't want to cut on that 8th mark. I thought this was going to give me a little to square up but it didn't. Then I ran out of the outside squares with only 2 left to make. So I had to use 4 1/2" squares of center color or the corners. It worked out but not what I had planned.
