  Dear Annie, I had finished the stars and cards block just as directed, but after I had removed the paper from the back the whole block measured only 11.5″ x 11.5″!!! What have I done wrong? Is there something about the grain of the material that might have influenced the eventual “settling in” of the material which caused it to shrink? Could I have ironed the block before I undid the paper piecing at the back in order to set the material? I have used 100% cotton material so I am really puzzled. Thank you, Anna-maria Flanegan.

  Anne Marie-

  I think maybe the pattern was printed at a smaller size that the original. When printing, you need to make sure that SCALING is turned off, or the printer scales the print to a smaller size. the pattern PDF is the exact size it needs to be, and with paper-piecing the only thing that could have made it smaller is the printed pattern. I’m sorry that that happened to you!

  I cut all my <1/4 inch slit in each of the rays before I removed the paper so I ensured I did not go past the seam allowance. I am not experienced enough to be confident in my own estimate of a 1/4". Just a thought.

  Hi Patrice —
  I just saw this — I’m so sorry the late reply! Did the 1/4″ work out for you? Let me know if you need help. It will be quicker if you text me. My number is on the business card I gave you. Are you still working on your quilt?
