Making oversized is part of the problem w/ points to the outer edge being to close. I will make some blocks oversize and trim back, but not one that has points to the outside

I have to give myself today and tomorrow yet before I can start Wednesday look out. I haven't decided on how I am going to go but I have a plan. Time will tell if I proceed with what I am thinking.

Kassandra, excellent choice for Pam's fabric! She's going to love it!

Yes absolutely,I hate scant 1/4 inch seams, and even when I use a pattern made by someone else I always redraw my own pattern so I know I can use 1/4 inch seams.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]615998[/ATTACH]Did the frog fabric not get sent? I picked an awesome pattern for it, but I did not get the fabric. Just checking. I believe it was Kass's.

Yes that is mine, I sent the solid blue fabric, I asked Janice to put the frog fabric in the pictures for a color reference. I am going to use the frogs in the finished quilt so was asking any of the colors in the frogs to be in the blocks.

I finished Bstone's block today. I like how it turned out. I could only use 8 of those 4 patches so I picked my least favorite to eliminate, hope it was your least favorite too.
