Ok, minor dilemma. I was finishing up a block today and somehow (by the means of a really angry quilting god!) I ended up 12 inches square rather than 12.5... Blah!! What are peoples thoughts on this? Should I add the 3/4 in strips to square it up to 12.5 or....?????

YES! There's no way to put a 12 inch block in with 12.5 inch blocks so if you don't fix it somehow the recipient will have to fix it. Do her a favor and make it 12.5! You have all the fabric in that block and she won't have any extra of yours or maybe not any of what she sent.
JMHO :-D

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for my singing Birthday wishes! I am 52 today and so happy to be breathing and back to quilting. This is the best birthday ever! My dh took me fabric shopping yesterday and out to dinner. I will be posting my eye candy later on the forum, so everyone can see. I got beautiful neutrals for a "vanilla" quilt. So pretty and elegant.

This swap is everything I hoped it would be, community and quilting. Thank you for helping me to celebrate life.
