it was late and i was tired thats never a good mix when quilting.

it looks great.
don't cut it down to 4.5, actually the next ones you do try to get them closer to 5 inches.
the DJ blocks are 5 inches unfinished and when you sew them into a quilt they become 4.5 inches.
don't worry if they are 4.875 everyone will make adjustments on their end, either by blocking the block or sewing them in with a scant 1/4 inch seam.
