Beautiful quilt blocks, everyone. Such creativity and attention to detail! Love all the blocks, especially mine. Thanks, sewbizgirl and joanelizbay - those will be great in my planned quilt. And yes, the paint samples I sent were suggestions, not requirements. If you have something in stash that fits the fabric, feel free to use it.
Everyone, have you had issues with the Patchwork Squares patterns finishing at the required 12.5 inch size? The three test blocks I made finished at 12 and a quarter inch, and squared up at 12 inches. That did not have the extra half inch needed for connecting seams. Is it just me and the patterns I picked or what? I checked the seams; they are not scant quarters, but not over either.
