zozee, I'm so sorry about your setback. If it were me, I'd start over. I would not want to be worrying all through the next clues about re-figuring everything to the right size (not so great at those kinds of calculations).

When I try to attach a picture, the picture is always too big. How do I make it so I can post it?

I should have read the next post. I will try that.

A small sample of some of my blocks. I've got a fairly wide range of both blues and pinks. My greens are more uniform in color. Liking it so far, but I strongly suspect these blocks are not finished yet

Ditto. If it helps to commiserate, when I did Easy Street 2 years ago, everything was done and layed out. I hated one of the colors sooooo much that I took the blocks apart and made new units in a color that I liked much better. Yes, I still have the unused units for "another project". I feel your pain.

Didn't think I'd get started until tomorrow but got home from work and couldn't wait to at least make a few units to see how well the fabrics would play together. Here's my first effort.....only a gazillion more to go. This is going to be so much fun!

Default Clue #1 from Pam

This is what I've been working on, I have more blocks completly sewn, but still need to trim them up. I've updated my blog , I can do the Monday link up on Bonnie's blog - I always love seeing what everyone is doing!

Miss Rita....LOVE your color selections! So calming!

I am watching everyone's progress-hope to start soon, but I will probably wait until after the holidays....keep posting pictures of your beautiful blocks!

I've just ordered the Easy Angle ruler from JoAnns which should be here in 4-7 biz days. (I hope 4.) Gonna "scrap" the first set unless I find that I can salvage some .

Meanwhile I am cutting the black and yellow. Being a Ravens fan, do you know how hard is it to look at STEELERS colors on my mat? I have to hide it from my son. He wouldn't even build Legos with black and yellow together!
