I measure the progress of each block unit to make sure they are the correct size each step of the way. Then the finished project comes out looking very nice. patchworkbreezehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946694655636566118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049028683848104380.post-8490253807108610012013-11-06T06:31:43.461-07:002013-11-06T06:31:43.461-07:00Thank you for this post.

Thank you for sharing your 12'' version of the block. That would be the only way to get a bed-size quilt out of this, I think. A 6'' block is a little intense!Laura C @ littleandlotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133246614230906389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049028683848104380.post-71764980675342902372013-11-04T19:27:46.136-07:002013-11-04T19:27:46.136-07:00Love the Ocean Waves quilts.

I can achieve internal consistency, but hadn't considered how different everyone's 1/4" seams might be, so the blocks I have back vary by as much as 3/4" !Camillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193180385628524129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049028683848104380.post-16622462923376494322013-11-04T02:56:13.028-07:002013-11-04T02:56:13.028-07:00Such a great block with so many possiblities.

By the way, after your rave I've ordered a couple of block loc rulers for the masses of HSTs I need to make in the next couple of months - can't wait for them to arrive. Also, I really wish they came in 1/2" increments - at the moment I am trimming HST blocks to 2" square - don't think there's a block loc for that!Adrianne @ On the Windy Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03259356674983165185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049028683848104380.post-58492828569596295772013-11-03T21:17:45.688-07:002013-11-03T21:17:45.688-07:00This is excellent information with clear direction...This is excellent information with clear directions and photos.
