Lori, I just started using AccuQuilt and I think I am going to love it. However, I am using the dies to complete a quilt I have in progress and it contains saw tooth stars. They are 12 inch stars and I have the 12 inch bloc box. So all should be great. However, I have made two of the blocks and they do not come out 12.5 inches. Instead, they are just a tiny bit over 12 inches. Sooo, they are not going to match up with my other blocks. I just don’t understand. It is so precise and it goes together so easily and it should be perfection. If I were making a whole quilt from the AccuQuilt dies this would not be a problem, but that is really not the point. We should be able to mix and match. Any idea what is going on? This all ties in with the question of trimming blocks. Without AccuQuilt, I am all in favor of trimming. Why not? It lets the blocks be perfect. And otherwise, mine are not. OH, and the reason I got AccuQuilt is because arthritis is beginning to really bug my hands. I love your podcast. You guys are the best. I credit you with getting my quilting mojo back!!
