Is it just me?? What's wrong? :cry:


Yes, I am. I'm really confused on why it's coming out small.
I doubled checked my white squares, they are 3.5", I doubled checked my 2.5 squares.
Perhaps I'll try one more. :?

I'm having the same problem, only some of them came out
3-1/2. Haven't got a clue as to what I'm doing wrong.
Anyone else having this problem and how do we fix it????

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one with problems.
Looks so easy. I know there's got to be an easy answer. :wink:

I love signature quilts! Count me in for at least 12.

try sewing a little to the side of the line you have drawn. Sometimes that little extra space will work.

Well, I tried this & it works great!
Thanks so much for the tip. I knew there had to be an easy answer. :oops:
I don't know why I didn't think of this.

I was having trouble with this also when my friend reminded me that when you press the seam to one side, it makes the block just a smidgen smaller....She suggested that I move my needle 1 or 2 clicks to the right.. :D
