I fixed the block I showed you earlier by removing the borders I had added to size it up to 12.5" I added the corners -- in the right place, It took several tries until I remembered your tip to use larger HSTs to start with Dede, thank you for your help! I welcome any help anyone can give me with these BOTMs. I'm fairly new to quilting and have only made one quilt on my own that didn't start in a class. You can't offend me by suggesting where I may be messing up. For example, if anyone thought my block maybe was too small because I didn't turn it the right way or added the corners wrong, please tell me and I will appreciate it.

It ended up 12.25" compared to the rest of them which are 12.5" I'll have to figure out how to make them fit later.

I made a Mug Rug with the original block I had struggled with so long. I did get the square in the center to lay flat but I had to trim it down.

I used a lot of the scraps I had left from paper-piecing several blocks to make the back of it:
