have done this many times when using paper pieced blocks that are different sizes but i want to mix them in the same quilt.
the thing about this stuff is that you can call it artistic license :lol: nobody will call the quilt police :twisted:
doncha love it???
nanabirdmo, I do this to. My sisters and I call them coping strips as they do help us cope with our imperfections! :lol:
Kyiav10, your blocks look great. Obviously the little red one without it's blue corners is carrying something different or is a different type of train car. :-) Keep on building 'em. They'll start going faster with a little practice. Most importantly, have fun with it. Keep us posted on your progress.
