Important:

I've received some feedback from the last swap that some of the blocks swapped had small centers. The blocks were trimmed to the proper 6.5" size, but the center block did not measure 2" square, which means the seams were off. Please check your blocks as you make them, and insure the center square is a full 2". The culprit is most likely seams too big. As I mentioned earlier, you have to sew a scant quarter inch seam to get your blocks to measure right. It makes a big difference when you start putting them together and need your seams to match up.

Please be careful!
Much appreciated....
