That makes sense. Honestly, the difference isn't all that much and the "wonkiness" isn't all that much. I said in the first post that they're only slightly off, but they are not perfectly square and I know they ought to be in order to get a nicely squared top from them. Once I am done with all the blocks (about a third of them are done so far) I will devote a day to measuring carefully and addressing their size before piecing them together. It also may be that in the meantime I can find a larger square ruler within my price range, which would help a lot. We're going to my father's tomorrow and there is a very nice quilt shop within about 30 minutes of his home. Maybe I can find time to go there.
Thank you, Ginger.
