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???

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!
