I'm pretty far befind, but I keep working on it whenever I can. Thanks to this board, I keep it going. I thought it was interesting that both blocks involve broken dishes this week!

Very pretty blocks Booklady. I can't believe you're doing 4 sets of them. I wouldn't have any hair left--some of these blocks have me pulling it out!!

I'm going to have to do some work with the sashing to get them all squared up. Some of them come out short even though I measure everything two or three times!

I have the same problem with my blocks. I have tried pp, rotary cut and templates and all but one have turned out small. I measured the template quarter inch mark at my machine. My seam is actually a little smaller, since I do scant quarter inch. I've never had this problem with any other quilt blocks I make. It is disheartening.

I like doing the templates best. Last night I tried making block 13 with a smaller seem allowance to see if that would help the block turn out the right size. All it did was throw off he seams so much I had to grow it out and start over.
