Me, too! While I agree wholeheartedly that quilting should be fun, it is not fun when blocks don't fit together as they should, i.e., the more adjustments I have to make when I put the blocks and rows together, the less fun I'm having.
However, I think if I end up with a block that is somewhere between 1/16 and 1/8" off, I consider it satisfactory, at least until I put the whole shebang together.
