Went to the site. They are eith 12 inch or 13 /14. Do you use the 13 and trim to 12 1/2? If you use the 12 do you just add a 1/2 inch on all the sides?
New to quilting and just want to be proud of my blocks

you use the 12.
They come out as 12 1/2".
The measurement is the finished measurement for a quilt.

I hope I explained that well.

Just a quick FYI...I would love to claim making those black and white blocks, but they aren't from me.

If I misidentify I apologize. The post office destroyed some of the envelopes.

Some pics are shaky because the photographer is shaky.

I have to move my needle just a couple of threads to the right for the block to come out to 12.5. Some machines are already set up for this, some have to move the needle just a titch.
