In 2009 I was president of my local guild. The "thank you" gift for an outgoing president is that the members make a block of the president's choice in her colors.
I'm finally ready to put my quilt together. The blocks are to finish at 10" but MANY are only 10 1/4" at this stage instead of 10 1/2". I'm going to use sashing & corner posts. Do I just cut the sashing strips at 10 1/4" or cut them 10 1/2" and "make" them fit or sew them with the block having more like an 1/8" seam instead of the full 1/4"?
