Normally when you trim a block like this you would trim 1/4" from the points. But in this case you should just square up your block to 12 1/2" . If you have the book you can look on page 138 at the block in that quilt, you can see there is about a 1/2" all around the edge of the block of the background fabric.
I trimmed my block 1/4" from the points of the squares. So I'm going to sew a 1 1/4" border around my block then square it up to 12 1/2". I think it will give the same effect.
Hope this helps you with your block and that one of these options will help get your block done. Let me know if I can help you with your if your having problems.
Thank you Betty for helping me see the problem I was having with my block.
