So after I made my extra blocks, I counted (three times) and much to my surprise I came up with 28. Eh? How did that happen? I puzzled it for a bit and then put my quilt tops together, figuring I'd put the extra 4 blocks to use on the quilt backs. After assembling my tops, I had 5 blocks left over, meaning I actually made 29. Is this a loaves and fishes type of situation, or am I really that bad at
I'm much happier with my work now that the quilt tops are assembled. Sure, they still have their imperfections, but I think they're much less noticeable.
Some of these corner blocks are looking really good!

First of all, your finished tops look really good, so you're totally excused for the counting :0) Second, I totally understand! I am working on my fist self-designed quilt and realized after cutting out all the fabric that I didn't take into account the seam allowances when determining pieces sizes. Thankfully I am working with HSTs, so the mistake was easily fixed, but that could have been really bad otherwise! I like the sewing part, not the part that involves numbers!
I like 'em, too.
So glad I'm not the only one who does stuff like that. I want to blame pregnancy brain but my kid's 3½....I do love both quilts, though!
love the fabrics you chose! well I guess you need to crank out some more blocks and make a third quilt :)
So cute! great fabrics and math is the worse part of quilting :)
Oh, now you have 5 blocks to have fun with for the back!!! Sometimes i have such fun being creative with the back.
Being a math lover, its one reason why i love quilting... but i dont always get it right either! Thats the joy of quilting, you dont have to be perfect.
Love those last quilts!
They look great, Katie!! And I can absolutely relate, sometimes my quilty math is SO far from right :)
As long as the 'bad math' is in your favor, it's ok. These are cute. You could always make a table runner with the extra's. Or placemats.
love the colors! Those will be great baby quilts!
These look so gorgeous, the colours you have used are lovely, they really shimmer and look jewel like
