I was really REALLY careful after reading about this blocks measuring small, and mine is too. 12.25". I've marked it with a note so I know it may need to be re-sewn or replaced. I'll make that decision after I see the final assembly.

My blocks are not coming out the correct sizes all the time but I'll trim at the end. Some of them in the photo are overlapping a little, they are really not that wonky.

Welcome madquilter! I hope you will love it as much as I (we) do

What colors are you going to use?
Oh, the first set is not online anymore and you will have to download the second set today because tomorrow that one will be off line too. After today you will have to buy them.
