exiting

Well i do three things .   cut, sew and iron.  Darn it!  How hard can it be:  I use a fancy cutter, a fancy machine and self turn-off iron and it still ain't straight.  My 12 1/2 in block came out:  12 1/2  x 11 1/2.  Ok:  it was triangles.  Ok! it was a new foot.  ok:  you add 5/8 or is it 7/8 to the final size before cutting.  Math!   So:  I got the ruler out and practiced with my new foot.  I add 1 in not 7/8.  Then I trimmed blocks and:  voila:  a 12 1/2  x 12 1/2 inch sq. block.   ummmmm  must be a magic fairy.

if it keeps raining in north texas:  I'll be able to swim to the sea otters.
