Thank you very much.
According to the instructions you were supposed to use the three center blocks as a guide/match point to put all the strips together.
I copied the photo on Moda's website and revised to show what your strips should have looked like after you put them together, before trimming the ends. The extra half-inch really is needed sometimes by some people. I know that the feeddogs on my machine occasionally "shrink" a strip by a very small amount. If you don't have that little bit extra, your end blocks would end up being trimmed off.

In the comments section below the quilt instructions there is a post saying that the pattern had been corrected as of yesterday 4/3/2011. I didn't do the math but apparently you are not the only one that was having issues with it.

This may sound off the wall, but I would make the blocks and then adjust the strips accordingly to get the width measurements correct and work on down. Sounds like you've gotten the right answers from other folks.

This seams to help me. When this happens I turn over the block and carefully check each seam. Some times I have got the seam wider in places. Also check the block after you cut the pieces. The first steps are where you learn the most. Best of luck to you.

The link has a period at the end that does not belong there. Click the link then back off the period at the end and the page will come up.
