    My problem is the center square, I cut the solid square at 3 1/2 but can't seem to get the corner squares correct they are either too small or too big! I tried 2 in rather than 2.5 and it is close but corners cut off. 1.5 is really too small. Any suggestions?

    Thanks Mary
    If your center square is cut at 3 1/2" then the finished size is 3". To find the size of the corners divide the finished size by 2. You will get 1 1/2 finished size, then add 1/2" for seams ,so your little corner squares should be cut at 2" each. Hope this helps.

    Thanks Jan, I just did it again with 2 and it was perfect! I think before I was sewing too far off center and didn't notice until it was sewn together. I really like that design from Train ride #11. I might try a full quilt with it after the holidays!

    M-fay, love those colors, and I am drooling over that green geometric by the dice, oh the fussy cutting possibilities in that one!!!!!
    Do you have any info on line or designer for it?
