in the center is the only one left that is the correct size, (2") is in the middle.
What is the answer for this? Thanks in advance.

For just the reason you describe, I learned assembly line quilting from Eleanor Burns. Her book, "Irish Chain Quilts" has the method broken down into individual steps. I still use than method because it is just way more accurate for me. Measure at each step, and you are home free. Once in a while I might have to sliver trim, or resew to get the quarter inch, but that is not her fault....lol!
