Sorry - you could make pillows to match the quilt or sash them for a wall hanging.

Also, just wondering, did you try getting it very wet and pinning it out to the 12 1/2" you need. Others on the board have mentioned this. It helps if you have one of those two sided portable cutting boards with fabric on the back. You could always use masking tape on your carpet or ironing board. You could use the inside border of the masking tape as the 12 1/2" measurement. Then wet the block and stretch it out to the masking tape. Lots of pins! and let it dry.
