I said some bad words over the weekend. I'm a dummy. I sewed my seams closer to 3/8" instead of 1/4" because I was lazy and used the standard foot on my machine instead of hunting down the piecing foot. So now the quilt won't be the size it is supposed to be. I had to cut down the big squares by 1/2" to make them the same size as the 9-patch squares. Grr. Now finishing the quilt will be a bit more convoluted, because I have to fuss with it. I think I might just do a wider binding to make up the difference.
Also, the instructions only tell you how many strips to cut for a twin sized quilt, but I'm making a queen, so now I have to cut more strips. Oh well, what do you do.
