I am VERY disappointed! Each one of us MUST be sure there is 1/4" seam allowance beyond the points!!!!!!!!!!!
That's the reason why I didn't sign up. I intended to do so as I really liked the theme and idea and I've never done a swap. But then I saw some of the samples posted and realized you'd loose the points when sewing them together as there is not enough allowance so I chickened out not wanting to be frustrated by what I received. :oops:
