1. When you flip and press your pieces be sure you iron up tight against the seam so they will match connecting seams.
2. When connecting your A & B sections and squares use a scant 1/4 " seam. (ie. stitch a needle wide to the right hand side of the black line.)
3. DO NOT trim the outside edges of the completed block edges until you are finished. Then when you square up your block it will measure 12 1/2" .
Thanks MonaLisa, I'll try your suggestions. I'm hoping I have better luck with Alaska.
