I needn't have worried, the BOM chair was gracious, didn't even eyeball my block, just added it to the group. Don't they look nice? There were blocks that were visibly an inch larger than they should've been, my scant 7/8" wasn't even missed. The winner of the drawing got all 25 blocks.
Later in the morning the guest speaker talked about being "quarter inch challenged". Being off a scant 7/8" hasn't mattered too much in my quilting up till now; but I'm beginning to think that's why the Ocean Wave alt blocks don't come out. Don't cha just hate that?

I like the pattern and all the colours.
Amish quilts are famous here in Scandinavia, too.
I´ve learned about inch and nowaday I find it better to measure by inch instead of cm when I make a quilt.
Most Swedes know nothing about inch.
I have a lot of American books about quilting.
(I have NOT studied English at the University if some words or grammar is incorrect.)
They are gorgeous all together, but I suspect that the person that wins those blocks is going to need to add sashing. It is a common problem with lotto blocks because of the variations of rulers and sewing machines!
You were so sweet to make that block and put my name on it!!! What a friend!!!
