But when the blocks are sewn into rows, the "middle" blocks on the row only measure 9.5 inches wide, not 10 inches. So I'm guessing maybe I should have cut the strips at 10 inches? But then what do I do about the "end" squares on the row where the strips wouldn't end up wide enough to cover the whole square?
Did you do the same kind of measuring for the templates for the squares that you did for the sashing? EQ accounts for the 1/4 inch seams. If you add .5 to the sashing, then to me you should have added to the block also. Try a sample block and sashing using the exact measurements EQ gave you and see if that doesn't work.
