In a Slim Pickens drawl, "Welllll I'lllll be...." Thanks Bev! I am "sew glad" I did not trim those corners up. It still may not be a perfect 8 1/2" when corrected, but it should definitely look right. Note to self--refer to block before final piecing! I feel so much better. You guys are just the greatest!! Thanks for the welcome, too.

Thanks QNinaSue in regards to fabrics. I have a nice collection of Kansas Troubles fabrics and think I will sneak in some Jo Morton, Jan Patek, Thimbleberries, Minick and Simpson if they blend well. I have always used fabrics I like regardless of which "line" they come from.
