My squishy should be arriving today! I've not sewed anything since I packing it all up to move in December - and this will help to get me motivated to get back into the swing of sewing.
I love picking out interesting blocks to try that might be out of my normal comfort zone - knowing I only have to make one of them. I cut my outer pieces so they are going to extend on the outer edges so that I don't end up with a block that is just under the required dimensions. With that bit of extra I can trim down and always have a block that is cut at 12.5". Not going to guarantee the points are exactly where they should be, but the block will fit in with the others just fine.
