This is my BOM also, and my second try at paper piecing. can't wait to try this.

This should be fun.

I'm excited already.

OK, I got the 1". Oh I guess I didn't sign up to do this, Well I'm signing up now. This is my 2nd pp, the first took me for ever to do 1 square. I'm leaving in a week for Thailand so must get this plus a babyblanket finished before I leave.

Happy New Year everyone.

Go into print preview and then increase the percentage. I printed mine a couple of times before I got the test square exactly 1inch. You can also customize the percentage so if it's not right at 125 percent... Also be sure to print the first page in landscape and the rest in portrait.

I think I will try this one, too. I printed the patterns and the 1" square printed 1 inch.

Wish me luck, everyone.

Will post if I get it right.

I want to get started on mine tomorrow but need to get this cleared up first. Thanks.

Did you get an answer? If you look closely at the picture on the computer it shows a darker shade of off white to create a dimension?

Yes it looks like the light is on the section by the door and tower.

I have been trying for two days now to get my pattern to EXACTLY 1". The closest I can seem to get is 15/16". Will it really matter to be off by a 16th ? (I can't believe how much paper and ink I've wasted).

It will work as long as all three are the same size, your block will just be a tad smaller and in order to bring it up to the 12 1/2 size you need to add a border anyway.
