Pumela, finished a block, turned out better than I'd hoped.Will be posting it off to you tomorrow. Should take about a week to 10 days to get to you.

I have that problem all the time. Often it comes out 12", not 12 1/2 like it says. Anyone have any suggestions. Is my sewing machine's 1/4 in wrong.

Beautifully done.

You should check how much your 1/4" foot is measuring. My 1/4" foot is way off and I have to change the needle position 1.5mm to the right for it to be a scant 1/4"

Oh, and press well.

If you are pp'ing you are suppose to add your 1/4 in seam allowance as your trimming it.
