makin, that's the same pattern I had. When you sew your strips together for the four patch, you have to square up the edges as you cut your small square sections.
Have you strip pieced before? |
Right off the bat, I put my kit together wrong. I sewed a couple pieces of the larger border fabric together with the 4-patch fabric. I looked at it and realized my mistake. Maybe I'll write an encyclopedia of quilting mistakes.

Yes I got the 4-patch with larger squares version. I'll be back begging for help if this doesn't work. And, I'll learn how to post pix. Thank you all. :-)

Update: I disassembled the blocks I had sewn and measured each one. I can certainly understand the problem with any of the four-patch squares I had sewn but the larger blocks actually ranged in size from 5 3/4" to a little more than 6 1/4". I squared them to 6" and will add an additional narrow border to make up the size. Wish me luck!

Good luck now that you have re-cut the kit. I have made several for them with no problems. Ordered another one the other day.
