I believe the reason you were short an 1/8 is because you forgot to sew a SCANT 1/4 seam.

Almost a perfect 12 1/2 inch square. One down - 6 to go, and each one will be unique.

To be honest, I've never checked with the ruler. I should though. I believe I am doing the scan 1/4, but maybe I'm not. Good suggestion.

Three blocks done. Each one goes a little easier than the last. I just love this collection of fabrics.

Very nice, it will be interesting to see what the others add to your row.

I have my medalian all cut out.Now to start sewing actually continue sewing.I did a bunch of extra swaps so I have been sewing.Not as much as I want I had pnemonia which the medicine wasnt working so they gave me steriods and that makes my heart go nuts so they gave me a beta blocker.I feel better just very weak.I cut stuff then lay down.But I dont let it stop me need to keep from getting bored.
