I finished my 12 blocks and here are some pictures. They are all red, white, and blue, even though a picture looks yellow.

Wow Sherry they look great! I am doing the Amish Diamond will try to post picture tomorrow. Not feeling very good last couple of days. I use the color catchers to and they work great.

I sent you a PM. Would like to join up. Never have done a swap before. I'll do a block called the Road to Tennessee.
Would have posted what it looks like but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. LOL

Found it on www.quilt.com/blocks/alphablocklist.html

I don't understand. I made this block and it finished at 12.25! I checked all my seams and they are 1/4 inch, I used my quarter inch foot. I says that it makes a 12 inch block, so if it where sewed together with another block it would in 12 inches right? So do I need to find another block to do? Help lol

I've had the same trouble & am having to redo some of mine. Have found that measure your squares twice, then cut, is a good rule. Although I use PP method. Also found out that a scant 1/4" is needed. I don't use my 1/4" foot, it catches when joining the points, so I set my needle to 1/4", post it on my machine & refer to that.

Hope this helps.
