Hey, Coffee. I'm sorry that you're having such problems. My only question is, are you a perfectionist?? I used to be and I used to have the worst problems with blocks not coming out right. Once I gave up on that, let my imperfections be my "style" things got better. I don't fuss so much. Okay, maybe I have to ease this seam because things don't match perfectly, or I might have to stretch the fabric just a tad....I'm okay with my seams not matching up just so! I hope I've helped just a little. :-)
