Pattia, it's all in the way it's cut this time, totally different from what we've been doing, try a practice one maybe. I did just because I wanted to make sure they were accurate. Takes a little pinning this time to get everything to match up....at least it did for me.
Nope started with 6" squares and did 1/4" seams If have to can square to 9-1/2" I wouldn't have to cut too much more around the sides to do that
