Hi Nita, yes I have been making blocks oversized and cutting them to fit when possible. The triangles (peaky and spike-type blocks) were my hang up, so I just appliqued them or paper pieced. I am now on the buildings which are really fun but you have to pay close attention to the sizes. Don't cut when tired or not alert. But they are turning out great so far. Now that I'm sort of past the "fillers," I am really having fun. I suppose I'll whine when I get to the sky again, but I may use some larger blocks here and there just for "interest."
