It's very frustrating, I have to pay careful attention to which side I use if I'm measuring.
I've noticed that some graph paper and some template plastic graph grids were not the same in both directions. |
If you can obtain a copy of Mary Ellen Hopkins' book called
"The It's Okay if You Sit on My Quilt Book" it might be very helpful to you. But in the meantime - what the other people have said - - |

Sew the blocks that have the most seams first, then measure those to find the size to cut your plain blocks. Solves all sorts of problems.:)
