I have the same problem with a Saturday Sampler I'm doing but it's the way the quilt is finished that's got my goat. The blocks finish at 9" then have a 2 1/2" border that makes them 14". They are set with alternating 14" squares of prints that just don't look right. I think the borders are too big for a 9" block so I'm not adding them and I'm waiting until all of the blocks are done before deciding what I will do to finish it for the scale to look right. Right now the quilt looks like someone made some little blocks that they wanted to try and make larger to fit into a larger quilt and were too lazy to make more blocks.
