2) after sewing these together, my blocks are coming out closer to 8 3/4 . I'm going to trim them to 8 5/8. Hope I don't lose too many points. Are these seams all pressed to the outside?
The answer is YES! Because I cut everything a bit big and forgot to trim down. I'm just going to let mine be bigger (right at 9") and I'm thinking my block will end up closer to 13" and I will just have to adjust the next step to accommodate the larger block. Nothing I haven't had to do before...
Edited to add: I would rather my block be larger than to lose all my points.
