Yes, that's how they were supposed to be. But when I squared them off, they ended up at 12" with the seam allowance, so it would be 11.5in finished...if no more squaring was necessary...which it is. :lol:
I'm not so worried about it now as I plan to do simple blocks for a while that will allow for mishaps such as these. But one day, I'd like to try a more complicated pattern that may not allow for this.
