One of my things I always say is "Who is going to die because it is not exact?" Nobody! but I do understand, stuff like that makes me absolutely nuts!

If its not to late, I suggest you call the lady and tell her that you were wondering if she'd like you to set all the blocks together and then she could do the borders?
She might be relieved.

The quilt will be beautiful. It doesn't have to be perfect.

I would not ask for the blocks back - could hurt someone's feelings & make you look bad. Just let her do the blocks her way & adjust as best you can in putting it all together. The fabric is forgiving, & I'm certain the teacher doesn't expect perfection - it's a kids' project after all.
Enjoy the process - you're helping with something very special!

As a teacher and a Mom, I had to learn the hard way (headaches and raised blood pressure counts I caused myself) that perfectionism has no place when working with young kids. They will love what they have done and so will everyone else. It is a gift of the children's talents and the actual quilting comes in a far second. Trust me, let go and relax to the extent that you can and enjoy the children's happiness. I know first hand how hard it is to let go of your standards even for a little while. :):):)

TRIM before sewing together. Rip out the seams, find the smallest size and trim to same size on all before putting together. That's the only way to square it up. Good luck, your left with a mess.

I agree! The quilt will be beautiful and the children will be so pleased to see their blocks! Just relax and go for it!

Let it go, it is a work of art and mean't to be imperfect. I know this is easier said than done. (from another perfectionist). It will look good after it is finished.

I agree with scissor queen in that this is a project for the children, they aren't going to care if everything is exact, they just want to see "their" block sewn into a quilt.
