This was after I had done all those teeny-tiny long tapered points & just wanted to get this finished!!! I threw away the wrong size scrolls. Don't need them for anything else & it was trash night. I just wasn't able to lay them on the block for comparison so you all could see the problem.

I have found that I don't mind the scrolls at all - it's those long tapered pieces where there is very little room to cram in the seam allowance.
wow, kathy...you mastered that old bugger, but thanks for the heads up...I'll start scheming ways to hmmm, fudge on this one?
I'm slow enough as is.
I know this is a learning process, but so busy in everyday life, don't have THAT much time ;)
Good to see you managed to spend a little bit of time here Mousie, hope DD is recovering and will soon be home.
