Frustrating!!! Ask me how I know.

I found that I was off about 1/8" when I had to piece multiple units so I started increasing my patterns by .1" and voila! Problem solved. If your finished block is about 1/4" off, maybe try increasing your printed pattern by 1/4" if you have to piece multiple units.

they really do look good together, I see you sent a lot of different b/w/lime out and it is all working. I agree, lots of beautiful blocks that match up great.

A picture of all my beautiful grown-up blocks together.

Here is one of all of them and then individual pictures.
Sorry the pictures are not that good as DH helped me and took them with his cell phone. Also I did not iron them yet.

I think it is just a bad sewing weekend for me! I had to rip out the 2nd block I made for moonrise twice!!! I haven't had this much trouble in a long time. Needless to say, I don't have much fabric left to send back. And my #2 swapper on the block next is .....oh my....yosamitesa's 'Cat in the Hat', going to think about that one for awhile! going to get me a cup of tea and think about that muffin and strawberry jam

This is adorable and so quick! I made one in no time. I was thinking we could send them directly to her, and if we put a get well wish and signature on the block it doubles as a card! If later she wants help assembling them we can work it out, I'm sure.
