I enlarged the pattern to 109% - closest I could come to get the 6" side and then add the 1/4" for seam. I made one block and since it was way off I decided to stop and figure out the pattern. Haven't made it yet, but hopefully it will come out 12.5".

So my question is, how do you get the pattern to be exact "??
edges and only trim up the pieces which will be joined in the center. Then trim up the outside edges after the blocks are sewn together.

will try another block and see if that will work. I came up to 12 so that extra may take care of it. Thank you good idea.
