I’m making a quilt for my niece’s graduation. The pattern alternates large 7 1/2 inch batik squares with four-square patches of black and white. So far, so good. All the batiks are cut, and all of the four-patch squares are sewn with standard 1/4 inch seams.

The pattern called for 3 1/2 squares to make up the four-patches. So now I have all of these four-patches that are 1/2 in larger in both dimensions than the batik squares … and the only way I can figure how to fix this so that they’re the same size as the batiks is to carefully cut off 1/4 inch off each side of the four-patches. We’re talking 50 of them. How best to do this? Time is of the essence; I don’t have a lot of spare sewing time to begin with, and this is now putting me further behind — with quilting and binding yet to be done! (Needless to say, I’ll be machine quilting in-the-ditch if I ever get to that point!)

Has anyone had computers suddenly disappear from Active Directory? These are machines that were bound to the domain and verified working. No trace of them can be found in AD, they have somehow been removed from the computers list.
