Lori,

When I have patterns that turn out small, I just adjust the size of blocks I cut (add 1/4" to all dimensions or whatever seems appropriate). With this particular block, I would just add 1/4" to the outer rows ~ that should make your block perfect!

Sorry you are having trouble! Please keep at it! ;) Your work and color choices are lovely! :thumbup:

I like your block. My 1/4" foot makes the seam just a little too big. I have to make a scant 1/4".

Someone here did mention that many of the blocks a the quilter's cache have to be sewn with a smaller seam allowance. That her directions often state that.

I am so sorry this happened to you. I hope you didn't cut them all out before trying the block.

Yes I have all the pieces cut out. I think the problem might be the blue. Is suppose to be 6 1/2 will measure it again. If it is smaller than only have to recut 12 blocks, fingers crossed.
