    The variety of finished blocks is so fun to watch. One pattern completely different looks each time. As to the one finished 11 3/4 it is probably the scant 1/4 inch issue and I would not fix it personally. If your bored and have enough extra of that fabric try it again with a slightly smaller 1/4" inseam that will give you back your 12" block.Worked for me. My block was the same size the first time and the second round (which by the way is much easier the second time as you know what the heck your doing) it came out perfectly 12". If I hadnt done a patriotic quilt last summer I would jump on with the pretty red white blue block. I was fairly tired of those colors however come last August so I will have to squeeze a couple newbies in this year.

    Sewze, have you tired spraying your block with magic sizing and pressing the heck out of it? I bet that would bring it back to almost 12.5 inches. It just looked like it could be pressed.

    All the blocks are so pretty.
    I'm going to try to get mine done in the next couple of days. ;)

    It was a little tough for me. :shock:

    All of these blocks are beautiful. I have made 2 so far and I am so going to make another one. I seem to have a problem with loving busy patterns. Here are my 2 rejects. Do you see the little boo boo in the lower corner. I have since re-done that one.
