Oh well, Hello seam ripper!!
D.Henson, I don't know what block you were making, but sometimes there are internal seams you can adjust. The Around the Block books have both 12" and 12.5" blocks (finished) and sometimes I just adjust those inner pieces to make the bigger blocks come out at 12" too... if I really want to make one that is a 12.5" block.
