are you pressing your seams each time time and using Magic Sizing? Cut pieces slightly larger after sewing and pressing each section trim before assembling the full block. Moosegirl

Another trick that can be used, depending on the amount too small - put a small coordinating border around the block, or set it like an attic window. It can be part of the block.

I'll swap with you for February if you want. What is your theme/color? Make sure BRT gets your addy so she can plan you in for March distribution.
