Didn't realize it till it came time to add those two pieces to the block. Anyone done this? How would you handle it? I thought about adding a half inch piece to each end. Feeling so frustrated with myself!
If you look at the block I made for Kass, you will see a border on two sides. This is because I cut her fabric the exact size instead of a little bigger as is standard when making HSTs, resulting in the block being a quarter inch too small both ways.
Also, I have not made any extra blocks , so I might have extra fabric and would be glad to send some if you need it.
