They are all the same. I figured if maybe I pieced them as I go, I could get a better idea of the size I want.

Thanks for all the input.

Thanks for the compliment.
I had to wait until I had all the blocks done to lay them out. I needed to see them to determine if my values between the rows were what I wanted. Can't even imagine doing them as I go, but that's me. (Besides, as a process person, starting to piece the top before the blocks are done would be a violation of the process rule - lol)

If you do a lot of handpiecing you may like the Inklingo method of printing sewing lines on the fabric. It's a fantastic handpiecing help.
