Quilting Nonnie Thank you, You'll be doing them soon, hang in there.
The last four I just posted I am redoing they were about 1/4" too big, I copied the patterns for PP from a copy rather than the cd and they came out too big. Sooooo I'm really back where I started.

Here again are my 4" New "right size" blocks for #23 and #24. At this rate I may end up with a set of FWS matching mug rugs :lol:

23 was fun and easy. 24 was like the 70's rock group: Blood, Sweat and Tears! I kept ripping out seams; some were assembled backwards or mirror image, others needed points matched better. I even ended up gluing one piece that wouldn't pin so the end of the seam was even. I used a glue stick, ironed it then sewed the seam. That was after trying it with pins two times. But it done. Thank goodness! :D

Well worth the BST-they're beautiful blocks. I love the fabric with the little red buds.

Yes. Also I was sweating it the entire time worrying if it would turn out large enough. All my blocks have been coming out at 6-1/2" since I started doing them with templates. This one was so much trouble I thought for sure it'd be too small.

And guess what? It is actually larger than 6-1/2! It's easier to trim down than to trim up!
