There is a HINT that works for this intersection.
Press all seams towards the darker (printed) fabric for all four units and

I have a little calculator that I keep by my cutting/sewing table.
I figured out the number of square inches in a yard of fabric
(36x36=1296) .

OMG, I have a Brother machine and love everything about it except the 1/4" issue, altho I've somewhat worked around it. I will definitely try this!

Sunday, June 24, 2007Installment Two, Scrappy Rebuilt Log Cabin

OK, above is your block pressed, with messy edges. At this point I'm thinking wider logs might have been a better choice, but this is what I did, so I'll live with it.

Next (above), I trimmed this block to 10 1/2 inches. That was tight! But since my logs were narrow, if I trimmed to 10 inches, I would ...
