    Looks like you mastered it. Wow, all that embroidery looks like a lot of work and I can certainly understand you wanting it to turn out perfect. Great quilt

Good luck and post a pic when you are done. We would love to see the finished product.
    Yeah, did you square the blocks before you sewed them to the sashing, they might be different sizes slightly

    I would like a copy of that pdf file too please. I have some blocks from a swap that aren't "quite" the same size.

    I think this is a measurement problem: the blocks have to be the same size and the sashing the same size.
