Hi - I just registed and tho't maybe someone here could help me with my problem.

I'm making a small quilt top that looked to be a really simple project. The rows across are made up with 3 1/2" pieces followed by 8 1/2" pieces - it alternates those two sizes all the way across the row and ends with a 3 1/2" piece.

I sewed all my rows as instructions stated, and pressed seams to one side.
The problem started when I stitched row 1 to row 2 etc. The blocks /seams were not lining up properly - I've heard the term "wonky" used for this and it really seems to fit.

I'm completely baffled - I have gone back and checked, rechecked and checked agaiin to make sure my cuts were acturate - they were, but yet the pieces in each row are not lining up the way they should.

I'm not completely new at quilting, but by far no expert.

If anyone has a suggestion why this is happening I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance
