Carol Doak has a yahoo group-go join it before you touch another paper piece (of fabric). Took a one day seminar with her last year and she explained how to measure that new piece of fabric so it won't be too small. It was a miracle! She also gives free new block patterns to group members regularly! (just love free quilt blocks-lol)
Just post your question to her group and you should get tons of helpful info.
Good luck,
Kat
