Sounds to me like the seam allowance is off by a hair. and so I wold check it and taking it all out and moving it is a lot more work than trimming of the bit to make them square. that will make a difference in the final size of the quilt as well. but it sounds like you are consistant all the way through so that is the good news!

All god advice. I would square them up. Keep going, you are doing great!!

I too would just square them up and work with what you have.
If you want your quilt the size of the one in the book - then you will just have to adjust your border.
Good advice was given to come back here and ask for help with the border..... your quilt will be great when finished.
Good luck

We all seem to be on the same page here. Square them up and you will be fine. Maybe a little smaller quilt but still beautiful.

If you square up to 6.25" blocks, I think you'll have to adjust your setting triangles if you are using the on-point layout. I haven't really done much work with those triangles, so I could be wrong.

Yes, but it's not a problem because setting triangles can be cut larger than necessary and trimmed after adding to the block row.

Thank you so much for all the help!!!

I trimmed all the squares to a true square, and now have 5 rows put together, complete with the triangles in the corner. So far so good. I think my moment of panic is over :)

I'll try to post a pic tomorrow, I'm really pleased with how it's coming together! I'll sleep good tonight now!

That is awesome to hear!

How's progress?

Did you get the top together? We'd love to see it.

Seams to me that if you are going to use blocks that are alternating they should be the same size. just sauqare them all to 6 1/4 then they will alternate properly.
