I am attempting a quilt starting with a 9 patch then it calls for 8" square cut in half and sewed to each side to create a square...HOWEVER, the 9 patch is suppose to come
out 8 1/2 " square, but mine is only about 8" or a little less... and it is more like a rectangle instead of a square! Do I cut it down and remake the pattern, toss it all out and start over or what??? This is a class I'm taking, but I goofed up the assignemnt that I am ashamed to go back!
