I have just made two cot quilts using an alphabet block on plain homespu
(calico) alternating with a pattern material (eg bears) 6.5inch blocks -
layout 6 x 9. This gives me a plain block left at the end where I embroider
the baby's full name and birthdate.

If you email me privately I can send you a pic to explain what I mean

When doing alphabet blocks, I can't make the set of 26 come out even. No
matter how hard I try, I end up with one left or one blank space.

I even tried figuring out how to make the blocks with alternating blocks,
no
luck.

I've already got the ABC blocks, so I can't combine two at the end.
They're
redwork 8-inch blocks that I bought on ebay. Doing alternating blocks
that
are red and white would be ideal, I think, but I can't get them to come
out
even.

I'm curious how anyone else has done these, if they have. If not, how
would
you make them come out even?
