The way you make a quilt as you go block is to make a sandwich. The block should be 12" square, the batting should extend just a tiny bit beyond the square and the backing should be 13" square - or one inch larger than the square itself. When it is put together the backing is sewn at the edge of the square first one way, then the other to join the squares. Then the backing that is now towards the front is turned to create edges, or in our case, frames for the squares. Here's a video showing how to do it if you're using at Batting Buddy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCcfg...eature=related
Just read Lori's post. If she wants it 12 1/2" that's good. Just be sure that your backing is an inch bigger all around.

Marty is going to want to get better ASAP just to get out from under this crazy thing, LOL

Krystana,
Most blocks are 12.5" unfisnihed and finish at 12". So if I am understanding correctly, we are using a 12.5" block pattern and then sandwich it with a a backing that is 14.5" inches and quilt it. Right?

Patty, yes, these are enough hints to exclude me since you mentioned coffee.:lol:
Wendy, hearing east from WY in a southernly direction still leaves many options. But since you are saying both of your packages are going to the same state, I am going to guess it is a state with many swappers. Texas and FL swappers!! watch out!
