Default Well…lesson learned the hard way.

This is my first quilt and I decided on a super simple layer cake friendly, squares with sashing. On all the tutorial videos I watched people just pull from the layer cakes or charm packs and go. Well Now I have two rows together and my sashing doesn't line up vertically in one area because one of my blocks isn't 10 inches and another is 10.25! So its off by about a quarter. I can't even fix it by at least taking in the larger square because then my length won't be right on the row matchup, which somehow by a miracle it does because one was 1/4 short and one was 1.4 long. Sheesh!

Guess my lesson today is to always square up and make sure my squares are really 10 inches even on pre-cuts. Live and learn! lol I'm actually afraid to see what the next row does.
