I did not square the inner square to 13 1/4, I squared to 13 3/4, a problem I can run into now and again because I don't wear glasses to sew but need them to read the instructions that are on the side table! In small type 1/4 isn't much different than 3/4.Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-66981092583023181422012-02-14T20:51:15.461-06:002012-02-14T20:51:15.461-06:00I'm not square on the middle block!!!!!!!!!!!!...I'm not square on the middle block!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not going to tear it apart and start over, I am a little off in a few places. I don't know why I didn't see it. This means I can't square off the center to 18 1/2 SO . . . hubby is helping me figure out how to fake it out. He's a carpenter and makes cabinets and complicated customer work. We'll try messing with the two borders and hope to not lose points, at least not too much. Worse comes to worse, if it just can't be worked around I can always take it apart. All the other blocks were so fun. I don't care for this one at all.Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-7485071770883487062012-02-13T17:53:24.364-06:002012-02-13T17:53:24.364-06:00Wow!

I saw the demo hanging on the wall...Yes, the Tonga. I saw the demo hanging on the wall and thought it would be perfect for my spare bedroom which works with all the colors plus the corner log cabin design. The thing I am also struggling with is how to cut the fabric. While the BOM was going on, just for 8 months, they gave us our fabric packets for that particular block free if we completed the prior month's block and showed up to listen to her sales pitch. Of course everyone bought something!!!! Now I am on my own and there is no cut sheet. I am afraid I'll not lay it out correctly and be short on fabric. I've cut out notebook paper pieces in the various sizes and laid them on the fabric before cutting to find the optimal placement so I have as little scrap as possible. I do have extra fabric. I bought the king extension just for that purpose but have no intention of making a king. I also have the cases and sham material to fall back on. It's not hard except for that pesky Y seam. I hear I have to be extremely careful with the log cabin design too because it is cut on the bias to piece with the main section. They recommended putting something on it- something that stabilizes seams but I don't remember what it's called. It's fabric you sew behind it.Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-50174090574660149882012-02-13T06:40:45.284-06:002012-02-13T06:40:45.284-06:00Oh!

That tells you how green I was (especially since I didn't sew). Hopefully now that the nightmare block is over, the rest of it will go much faster. I also have material for the coordinating pillow cases and shams.Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-50702316414529740272012-02-11T21:57:27.356-06:002012-02-11T21:57:27.356-06:00Wow, your quilt block is GORGEOUS.
