Would love to know your finished size since you said you made the blocks smaller. What sizes are your blocks and did you make the sashing smaller than what the pattern calls for also?
I made the blocks 5 x 7...and yes I made the sashing smaller--1.25" Here's the trick: Once you decide on the width of the main strips--(they should be about 2" different)--then add whatever width sashing you want--iron, then measure the width of each strip set and cut the other set in pieces that match. Then all the blocks are the same! :thumbup:
Thank you so much for the info!! What were the final dimensions of your quilt? And are the 5x7 and 1.25 your cut size or your finished sewing size? Again, thanks and sorry I am asking so many questions.

Hugs to you.....
