Hello, I’m a new member, quilting alone on my boat in various places, so not many resources! I just started a hollow cube quilt, tried to follow Rosenthal’s directions but seems I had he wrong ruler... bottom line, I’m 1/4” short on all my cuts. Any way to fix it or do I have to start over?

Welcome from Texas! I don't have an answer for your question but I bet someone will come along to help you figure things out. Can you maybe just put one block together & see if it works with the short 1/4" cuts? Maybe it will just make your block a little smaller than you had planned. I'm not great at math so don't know how that 1/4" will change things.

Thanks... I’m terrible at math.. giving building a try

What does hollow cubes look like. Maybe it would work if everything is cut 1/4” smaller. Just makes block smaller.

I saw one called that in Marci Baker's site. beautiful. make more pieces from scraps and try putting them together with the smaller measurements. may work, may not. at least you will know.

Hi from North Carolina! I'm not sure I understand the problem,... but could you make them all the same size?

I would use the block size you have and put borders on it to make the quilt bigger.

Welcome. Wait a while and you should get more ideas.

looking at the block, I think you'll be OK. Sew the short piece to the triangle, make sure to line up the square end. Then sew the longer peice, also matching the square end. Then if it's not matching on the angle side, recut that so you have an even angle - and then just make sure to cut all your pieced triangle sections the same measure.
