I just added the finished measurements from top to bottom, and they DO add up to 9". 7/8 + 5/8 + 1-1/2 + 3 + 1-1/2 + 5/8 + 7/8
By making D only 7/8 instead of 1-1/8, that would only give me a 1/8" seam when connecting it to the BCB piece and to the F piece.
For E & G pieces, if I add another 1/2" would't that put the total to 12-1/2 x 9-1/2?
The total measurements can be no more than 12x9.
FIXED: I see that my F was wrong....need to add another 1/4 to that
Why only 4 geese (C)? There are 6 geese. 2 on top, 2 on bottom and 2 on the sides.
Note, I am still using 1/4' seams. Also, that the 7/8" border around the outside will be having the 1/4" binding on it, so that will knock the pattern down to 5/8" to match the inner border.
