Not since the trimming to 12.5" after piecing, with the backing and wadding also cut to 12.5". Actually most of the blocks are slightly short of that, but I guess that if they're all short there's not too much of a problem.

You didnt have any trouble with creep when you quilted then ???
You shouldnt really in something that small ...
but generally we cut the wadding a lil larger and the backing larger than that to allow for any creep.

Not entirely sure what creep is, but on the quilted blocks the wadding and backing stick out beyond the blocks, with the wadding generally the largest - not always by a lot, but consistently.

I remember saying that I was just going to dip in and out of this year's BOM but I appear to have made 11 blocks. One more to go.
