However, I have a question. This block looks as though it is going to turn out at 11.5". Am I right? Do I need to scale it up to match the January block or can I just add a small background border when it is finished and squared up?
As I am quite new to quilting, I am not too sure what to do for the best.
When you printed your pattern did you reset to "none"? My first pattern was set on another default (I think it was size to fit or something like that) and it printed out and I measured it and where it was supposed to be 6 1/2" it was actually just shy of 6". Hope this helps :) I'm going to attempt mine tomorrow.
No, I hadn't realised that I needed to reset the printer. Now, I've done that, it will be fine. Thank you so much Sharon. I'd only done one section so I haven't lost much and gained experience! :oops:
