New quilter here but that came to mind and I thought I would throw it out there to consider. Just ignore if I'm way off base.
I think if she'd done that, susie, the blocks would have come out larger than they were, supposed to, rather than smaller.

I was wondering if possibly it said to cut the 2 !/2" blocks and should have told you then to add 1/4" seams... so blocks should have been 3" total?
