what a beautiful center block that is! so soft and spring like at 12.5 inches it is easy to add to, three blocks on two sides and four on the other two.. not a huge project. I am going with a bigger size for my center so I will have 6 on two sides and 8 on the other two. I am taking a break currently, cut my round robin that I am doing for the Road Runners and have it 1/2 sewn together. I just have to now trim down. I always and I say this sincerely cut larger for hst's and then trim down. So if it calls for 3 7/8ths I cut 4 or 4 1/8th so when sewn together I can trim down to the size I need in this case 3.5 and I end up with perfect sized blocks every time. I also use a 1/4 inch foot when sewing to make sure my blocks are CLOSER to the size I need lol. one day I will be perfect. or almost perfect?
