Here is my month 5--decided to tackle it first of the month instead of last as I did in April. I'll do a blog post about it tomorrow. http://bbquiltmaker.blogspot.com

what is the size raw edge to raw edge now. I get 34.5 inches. The instructions say 30.5 inches raw edge to raw edge. Am I missing something.

I haven't sewn month 5 on yet but after month 4 mine measured 30.5 (as in the directions).
There must be typo for month 5 stating that it should again/still be 30.5 when done adding the last month 5 border. I calculate mine will be 34.5"-I'm using foundation piecing method.

the math for month 5- if you sew 15- 2.5 squares together you will get a 30.5" strip. When you sew the corner squares (2.5 each) to that you should end up with 34.5"

Dear Valerie,
not sure if anyone answered you privately, but here is how I add photos-
-use "reply" box under someone's message OR go to top of forum page and click on "reply topic"
-write your message in the text box
-below the message is a box labeled "Add file" - if you have saved your photo to your desktop you will use "add file" to search for the photo to upload to the forum (like adding an attachment to an email). you might be given option to imbed into message or leave as attachment- your choice.
-I suggest you use "Preview" to see if all looks OK, then hit "Submit"
Hopes this helps. Looking forward to seeing more photos of progress.

Here is mine after finishing month 5.I t now measures 35'' square.
I've used mainly reproduction fabrics as I want to keep it as close to the original.
Love what you are all doing,and thank you for answering my question.

Sorry it seems I've put up too many photos,as you can see I'm still trying to get
my head around this site now that it's so different.

Here is my month 5- Kaffe Fassett fabrics- using my extensive stash and loosely following the color scheme of the example online.
Measurement 34.5". Think I'm getting the hang of foundation piecing and joining the points.
I may have mentioned previously, but will again- the Loc-Bloc 2.5 square has been invaluable for squaring up my finished blocks. With more to come for several more rows, it is well worth the price.
Nice job Valerie!

Very pretty. Love the pink fabrics especially. It was worth looking at several times!
