That certainly could happen with the spot I was having trouble with--that 1" strip by the red block. And I thought of that and checked it--I pulled it out and measured and it was still not even, so I ripped it out half way then resewed with a smaller seam and it looks perfect. But--it should be perfect without having to do that. Plus--my Sharp iron went last week, so I bought a Rowenta and it has a nice pointed tip for pushing those seams out.

I added all the sides of the pattern up last night too--but they are all the same. I was thinking maybe EQ7 goofed on one size of one piece. Nope. It has to be me--somewhere.
Such mysteries this pattern--although so simple--is creating!

I did sew the four big blocks together last night. It went together fine because I trimmed the blocks when small. I'll add some 2" borders in white--and get her done.

Thanks for the ideas.
