The problem is that the blocks are not all 12" blocks. In each set there are blocks that are 13" rather than 12-1/2" and others that are just 12" square. I have sash material picked out from her stash but how do I handle the different size blocks? Would it be as simple a making the sash that much larger for the too-small blocks? What do you do with the blocks that are too large? The blocks themselves are goregous. The quilts each have 12 blocks. Would you just pick out the best 9 blocks and work with that and forget trying to incorporate all 12 blocks?

Thanks!
