I love that Hunter's Star block for the other group. That looks really, really hard!
I won't be sewing again until Friday. I only sew on the weekends. So, I'll see if I can't get my block to come out right. I'm really jealous all of you can sew your 12.5 inch blocks and I can't.
I follow directions. I don't fudge on the directions. But, the site calls them to be 12 inch blocks. I think that's how they're supposed to come out. To get another half inch to them has to require fudging and I'm not that good at that yet.
I measured all my quarter inches and they were perfect quarter inches and the block was a perfect 12 inch block.
I'll try adding and extra eighth Friday and see if that does it.

Cordelia,
Maybe you are thinking something else about 12.5? What we mean is the block needs to measure 12.5 unfinished and when it is put into the quilt it will be 12 inches finished. Are yours measuring 12.5 unfinished?
Hope this helps????
I have tired calling you so we can talk this out but no answer. Give me a call tomorrow evening if this hint does not work. Do not get discouraged okay???

I absolutely can't wait to start my blocks. I've started some planning but have been really busy the past couple weeks and have had some other projects that needed finishing first. I'm hoping to get started this week!
By the way, every single block has turned out beautifully. Good job, ladies!
