    Mine's cut, I just need to put the pieces together this week. This is my #1 quilting project this week. I'll post pic when I'm done.

    I enjoy seeing everyone's pretty fabric selection.

    Everyone's is looking good. I can't get mine to looks so squared and lined up all over. I have Grandma's done in my material and the material from the "ugly" box. Having a time with the other block. It comes up 10 inches instead of 10-1/2. Those little half squares are getting me big time. Give it another go and then I'll post the pictures.

    Ann, don't stress out over it. You mite try cutting your pcs just a bit bigger, then trimming if necessary. Try cutting ALL 2 1/8" pcs at 2 1/2" then trim down after you've sewn them together. I'm sure (hope) you'll see this will help. Practice makes perfect (sometimes, lololo)... I've just found when they call for a such a small pc to work with, I up the size a bit then trim down.. Be sure you do a scant 1/4" seam too. Hope this helps.

    Thanks, actually it helps a lot. I don't always see well, so do a bit bigger and trimming down would help those small pieces. And to be honest, I am actually not stressing out over it, just get frustrated at times, to me that is different. Or at least the way it feels which is a good thing. Thanks again.
