Billi - you hit them both outa the park. Perfect block for each fabric.

My mat is the same, Bibliostone. I was warned early by one of my class teachers never to use mats for any precision measuring. I'll bet you that almost everyone will discover their cutting mats don't match their acrylic rulers. So always measure everything with your acrylic squares. Mats are unreliable.

Grrr, I am so frustrated! Today I discovered that the measurements on my mat are not the same as my ruler. I always cut with the rulers, but use the mat to make sure my blocks are coming out at 12.5 inches. Looks like I am going to have to rip and restitch some of the blocks I made because they are too small. I hope the blocks I sent out in the last boom were not too small to be used. This "redoing" was not included on my timeline!

Reminder: the mailing window is closing. Anyone wishing to get their blocks out early, please make sure they arrive by Friday. I will open another mailing window in mid-October. Thanks.

Billi great blocks both are very pretty.

Bibliostone, so sorry to hear that, how frustrating.
Billi----beautiful blocks---applique is a good thing.................lol. good patterns, they are unique, and the colors are wonderful. |
Those are cute blocks, Billi. :thumbup:
|
How fun! I love it! :thumbup:

bibliostone, I always just use my rulers for cutting. The only time I use the mat is to get a square edge to start. My 12 1/2" rotating mat matches my rulers perfecting. When the block is done I put it on that, line it up and square it up. When I cut out fabric I make sure the "line" on my ruler is "over", like on top of the fabric also, not beside it. You could be losing about a 16th of an inch and in a 12 1/2" block could amount to 1/4" if that's what you are short. Check this out...it may make a difference between your ruler and cutting mat.

Billi, Love the snowflakes! Both blocks are very creative.
