Make sure you use the same ruler for all blocks, and maybe double-check your ruler for accuracy. I have an Olfa frosted ruler that is accurate on 2 sides and about 1/16th of an inch too big on the other two sides. It's very frustrating, I have to pay careful attention to which side I use if I'm measuring.
I've noticed that some graph paper and some template plastic graph grids were not the same in both directions.

If you can obtain a copy of Mary Ellen Hopkins' book called
"The It's Okay if You Sit on My Quilt Book"
it might be very helpful to you.
That was one of my first quilting books way back when. Definitely "old school" (about 1985) but modern enough to include rotary cutting.
But in the meantime - what the other people have said - -[/QUOTE]

This is the way I do mine. If you are not exact in your piecing, it is easier to cut the block to match the patchwork. I know it is to late for this project but you can try it on your next quilt.
