Just add material to the smaller blocks to make them the same size as the large

I just changed the size of my sashings to make it work. Some wider, some longer, etc. Worked just fine.

I like my blocks different sizes. It leaves room for adding in some other blocks and interesting touches.

What am I missing here??

Fussy cut the designs and/or shirts to a uniform size that you have chosen, or mix and match sizes to fit. Back the shirts with a stabilizer that you leave in. Helps with the stretch. A simple Google search will lead you to many sites for help.

Wow! What a wealth of information everyone has provided! I just joined this forum and I'm so glad I did. I've been quilting (or attempting to) for many years and now I have support and help! YEAH!!!
