I'm thinking based on how my blocks are coming out...it's the former.
I'm sew glad I'm not the only one! LOL! I finally just call it close enough for me, I don't do any of those really intricate patterns anyway, in fact, don't ever use a pattern, just see something, and do it MY way. Not being sarcastic, as some will take it, but they say really to sew 3 strips (2 and 1/2) wide together, and it should measure 6 and 1/2.
