I'm confused on this block. I can't get the math to work. There are 14 strips across the block that measure 3/4" each and the center block measure 1". That's 11-1/2" (to finish at 12"). I made the block without thinking about the measurements (just following the instructions) and it measures a perfect 12", not having the other 1/2" seam allowance needed. What am I missing here?
