Here is my problem. Top measures 63 5/8 and the number of blocks in these two strips is 22. When I got them all trimmed and sewn together I come out one inch over. Do I go back and snug some up? Try to ease it in? Hack off the extra?

Both times I get the same result. The plain strip is a 2 inch cut finishing at 1 1/2 inches which adds 3 inches to the top. On paper it come out. Not in reality.

I call these pieces "Peaky" and "Spiky". Mine were cut on the Accuquilt. I already take Parkinsons medication and have cut a much-missed-slice off my left index finger.
