I only needed help with this and not to confuse you all.
Thanks for the help I have recieved. I do also hav a problem with another block but will leave that and do again when advice is given. I did not know of the special help for cutting was on the group as I only joined this week.

Margaret, with the seam allowances, those pieces are 3.5 inches long, so they are the correct size. Did you perhaps cut the seam allowances off your paper templates? Or did you not have your printer set to print "actual size"? There must be some reason that yours are not right and I'm only nagging so that we can discover what it is and hopefully keep it from happening again.
