Thank you very much!

I tend not to trim much of anything, but I will think about it for sure, that or just sew the 1/8 seam to start with.

As long as square footage doesn't count, there isn't much actual quilt there.

Thank you

I have been busy, it is nice to get a few things done and out of the way, not sure what I will do with most of them, K-M asked for a care package, I guess I am a bad mom that I haven't sent anything to her and she has been gone for 3 weeks, I thought I would package her up one.

Trimming is time consumming :thumbdown:

probably why I don't tend to do it, I don't square things up or anything either.

Chances are that I would just change to the 1/8 inch seam allowance to start with, save all the trimming for someone that has more time.
