I don't know what I did wrong on Block 7. I used the templates and I know I did an accurate job. But when I was finished, the block was more like 7 inches square, rather than 6 1/2 inches. When I trimmed it to 6 1/2 - to match all the other blocks I have completed - my points all come right to the edge of the block. Basically, I sliced off that 1/4" seam allowance. But I felt I didn't have any choice, otherwise the block would have been too big.

It was such a nightmare to cut and piece, I hate the idea of doing it over. Especially since I can see myself making the very same mistake!

Does anyone have any idea what I could have done wrong?
