Thanks for any help,

all I can say is it is an error I missed. When using the strip method it is wisest to have 1/2" to 3/4" between the edge of the strip and the point of the block you are cutting out. I suppose I was thinking of that when I wrote it. But you are right it should read 1/4" Not 1 1/2" between the point of the block and the edge of your seam.
