    i had that problem yesterday, i finally tossed the block in the trash and walked away.

    it was late and i was tired thats never a good mix when quilting.

    I don't know if it's ambitious or self-inflicting torture. :lol: [/quote]

    yup, self inflicting torture, for sure.

    at least we have until jan to mail these in.

    Here is a pic of my first trail of B-4, Do I square it down to 4.5" or leave it at 4 7/8"?

    it looks great.

    don't cut it down to 4.5, actually the next ones you do try to get them closer to 5 inches.

    the DJ blocks are 5 inches unfinished and when you sew them into a quilt they become 4.5 inches.

    don't worry if they are 4.875 everyone will make adjustments on their end, either by blocking the block or sewing them in with a scant 1/4 inch seam.

    Okay, I'll make an adjustment on the last row. The pattern states that it is a 4.5" block, but measures at 4 7/8", so I'll just add 1/8". Thank you!!

    yes, the size listed on the pattern is for the finished size. EQ is very confusing that way.
