I have found this to be true of many patterns. They say 12" and you figure they are 12.5 with seam allowance. Wrong! They should be more specific. Very frustrating, especially when the block is a little harder.

I just finished a crazy patch queen quilt using all sorts of scraps -- I love it, so colorful. Makes me smile in the morning!
