Quote: Seems like it could be the check fabric isn't straight on grain..or the fabric is straight and the check is just off. I run into this every time i try to use check print.
There's one square that's really off...looks like I need to fix that. If I fix that one I think the slight irregularities in the others won't be really noticeable. The starching though did the trick and I was able to make it 9 1/2 all the way around. I think though next time I'll remember...NO check! lol! It's tough to work with! I keep thinking...when do you find the nice balance between "perfection" and "good enough" with quilting?

I think the starching will help. Very cute block!

I decided that good enough and finished is way better than a pile of almost done... =)
