Thank you for your nice comments about the flimsy. It’s already on the growing pile to quilt.
TG, yes, I received your tracking info. Thanks!
I went digging through the stack of unfinished swap blocks and found a set from eons ago, not Boom blocks. Unfortunately while they are supposed to be 12 1/2 inches square, most are less than that, up to 3/8 of an inch short in one or both directions. They’re just way off. What would you do to make a quilt of them? Cut all down to the smallest, losing points, etc? Add different width sashings to compensate? Toss them? How would you handle this?

With blocks like those, I think I'd make a "frame" around each one... maybe 3" wide. Then cut down all the frames to the same size block. They may end up being 14" blocks by then... does that make sense?
