Count me in as a diehard member of rounding up and trimming down club :D

And I bet you'll have enough fabric - my experience is that Connecting Threads kits are very generous. Have fun!

I did see Bloc-Loc rulers at the quilt show the other day that were these specific sizes. I think I heard that they had been made for some special patterns?? Must be someone using them.

Yep round up and trim.

I always cut to the next full inch and trim. HST's always turn out wonderful.

Yes, I have and I feel your frustration. It was a quilt called Across America or something like that name and had 50 states and each state had a block. Almost every block was like that. I just followed it exactly as I was concerned I wasn't experience enough to deal with it any other way.

I am with a lot of others here my eyes aren't what they used to be so I round up and trim later. This method has always worked well for me.

I have a slotted June Taylor ruler that has slots for cutting eights. Cutting 2 7/8" with it is a breeze. The ruler doesn't have slots for all eights; but does have the eights that are most commonly used in patterns. I'd be lost without that ruler!
