Of course, you've been leaving 1/4 on the edges! Your quilting brain thinks you are creating a seam allowance.

Give those knees some ibuprofen or Aleve before you go to bed.

You'll love it when you're done. I put one in my dining room and hallway about 6 years ago. The cloud of profanity is still lingering as a cloud over my house. Suffice it to say I was extremely pleased when the job was done.

Are they warm floors & are they hard to keep clean? My hubby wants them in our dining room-front living room but we live in a modular & I'm afraid they would be cold to walk on.
