As easy as this block is, I always have a tough time sewing directly into the corners. I made all 64, and I thought I did a good job, but all my blocks came out wonky and too small. Every stinking one of them.
I am disappointed, but not defeated! I am cutting a new set, and I found out if I cut the white squares 5" and the colored squares 3", I can square the finished block up to 4.5" and maintain the proportions. My sample squares looked beautiful doing it this way.
Question: Has the swap closed at a count of 47 people? Since I am starting over from scratch, can I just make 47 blocks or does it still have to be 64? Let me know. I will be working on these today.
