Wow! That sounds great. I get frustrated with BOM projects turning out different sized blocks and losing points. Hoping this may help.

The rest of the months, I sewed right on the line which gave me 145 blocks which are precisely the same size, with seams in the same places. And (miraculously!) I managed to NOT chop off all my points or make the points float. (insert happy dance! )

It's a little extra work, but gosh, it sure is nice to have fewer headaches in the assembly stage.

The best price I found was at Connecting Threads.
