Yes! That's the one thing I did wrong on my first section. I forgot to leave seam allowance on all sides.

Also, make sure you sew the pieces in number order. I made the mistake of thinking I could skip ahead and then had to unsew. Not fun!

If you need help right away and I'm not answering, just PM me - it should go to my regular email and then I can get on and answer you.

heavens to betsy is a great name for this block, OMG another PP block, the challenges you put before us will shirley test us all this month but am going to wait until i get back from my quilt shop hop vacation to sunny florida. leaving next tuesday and in the mean time MUST finish 2 wedding attendant dresses. Plus learn to master a new babylock crown jewel long arm quilting machine to be able to finish a silent auction quilt for a local school. plus I need some sleep and of course time to pack. question One or two bikini's? ha ha my luck will be cold and rainy. I know we are close to the ocean (walking distance) but not sure of late march weather. oh well quilting is the game, spending is my plan! will send pics when i get back and hope to see lots of BEAUTIFUL quilt blocks. when i return.

Started on mine tonight. Only got one 'eighth' done, but I'm LOVING this block so far. A little time consuming, but I think it's going to be lovely. Decided to throw a liiiittle splash of red in my B&W block this month. :D Don't hold your breath though, I think it will take me all month to finish this one!
