Doing just fine Miss Jane, haven't started mine yet, working on other swaps. Finished today so may start on these tomorrow after I freeze some tomatoes from the garden. This is a never ending job right now, but worth it in the winter!

Jane I don't know what I'm doing wrong.....made 4 today and cutting 10 1/2" squares, sew together, cut the X, sew back together...everyone of them are just a tad over 13 1/2". If I trim to 12 1/2" all the points will be cut off . Can you tell me how you got 12 1/2" blocks from these measurements???

Agreeing with Jaba
I am doing the same thing. maybe we should leave all the blocks this size. My husband who is a new quilter saw that this would happen right away. I would rather have the points. I love this block.:eek:

hi Jane, hoping to join you on this one, after all the kinks are ironed out!!! LOL I am getting so many UFOs out of this group that I many have to slow down a bit for a while. Hate to stop it is so much fun to do and see what comes back.

I worked Fri/Sat/Sun so was 'out of commission' for a few days - - -
Yes, I agree. Let's trim the blocks to 13 1/2" unfinished, keeping the points. So the block will be 13" finished. Kind of an odd size, but, no matter. Problem solved! Thanks everyone! Jane |
Sounds good to me!

They are beautiful. Really a striking quilt. I hope lots of folks are signing up! I have three made and all of them cut out. Mailing the Trip blocks on Monday. A 5 day stint in the hospital put me a bit behind. Barbara
