April

Hello, fellow stitchers.
April is here......I have all of the panel for March and April together...alas, it came out longer than the previous ones so I've spent the morning ripping out seams and shortening blocks....they're all back together now and I see I still need to shorten it about a quarter inch..so back to the seam ripper...I'll take it off the top of the rainbow block as it seems to have more fabric access....then I'll be ready to sew that long strip in between....I think what happens is that I cut my blocks 1/2 inch larger to begin with as suggested and just fail to trim them enough...

Darn - that is a nuiance - but better to be too long than too short - I goofed up one of mine (not by bad cutting - a long story) - so I had to add width and length - I'm not saying which block as I dont want anyone to notice!

Good to catch it now and certainly understandable how it happened.
