block too small
Sigh... I finished the A block yesterday only to find that it's 1/2" too short - both ways. I was really careful and measured each and every step of the way so can't figure out how it ended up short. Now, I can either add the 1/2" on by sewing on an additional 3/4" strip onto two sides OR I can 'scrap' it and start again. I'm a little worried about doing it a second time for fear that the same thing will happen.
Did anyone else have the same problem? Please tell me I'm not the only one.Tags: None

I think it would be a good idea to figure out why it happened. Otherwise, you might have the same problem with the next block. It is possible that if you have the same problem--it will all work out ok but if not--then you are back to seeing what is wrong. Double check your 1/4" seam. I found out my needle position makes my seam .5 short of a quarter inch which made my block too big.

I agree with Ritzy. It's better to find out why now, than when the quilt sections won't fit together. Margo has a great class:
learn/classrooms/
There are many ways to get your quarter inch consistent. I love a Collins Style ruler where the needle goes into the quarter inch mark, and then put a dam of tape to help direct the fabric, only mine is a Prym-Dritz from Joann's. There are other whole forum sections on this topic, but I think we'd all agree...that quarter inch is crucial in all of the BOM's.
I repeatedly make the mistake of cutting on the wrong cutting line of the ruler...I've learned to put a post-it or piece of tape at the right line.
Janet, I didn't see a measurement in the Jan PDF for the raw edge to raw edge of the finished panel, after all the sashings, etc are sewn together. Am I just missing it?
