So okay---normally I try to not really stress about my quilting. I have found that if a point is cut off a little, or if I have to ease a little, it will all work out in the end. Unfortunately, dI didn't feel this way about my block being 2 inches off. Since the Moda Building Block quilt is comprised of 48 blocks of varying sizes, each one MUST be the correct size if it is going to fit together. I got on the internet and started searching, looking for blog owners who had made the quilt and blogged about it---remember there are NO directions and the pictures are not true pictures but art ones. I finally found a blog owner who said that the inner square would "float"---ah-ah! I thought it was oversized and so had trimmed it down. Out came the fabrics again and I remade the block. I didn't have enough of the dusty rose fabric, but I found red, which I actually like better. This is a 36 1/2 inch block!
The block looks wrinkly, but it isn't. I normally take pictures on my wood floor and I think the carpet has static---it is cold outside and very dry inside. At any rate I am NOT remaking it. Whatever it is, it will "quilt out". My points are pretty good---again, once quilted you will not be able to really tell that 1/100th of an inch that is off.
