I need some help with Scant 1/4"
#1
I know what it is, and used to have it down pat. But the last few months everything is turning out wonky. So, for you experts (which I clearly am not), let me ask you this. If you use scant 1/4" in your patches, do you also use it when you piece the horizontal strips, too? I have been playing around trying to get back in the "zone" with it and I cannot. It's very frustrating -- though, I've been know to make things harder than they need to be. :roll: Do I make any sense?

When I participate in a swap, I do whatever it takes to make the block be the right size.
When my block has matching points, I adjust to where my points (hopefully) don't get cut off. Otherwise, I sew my seams with the same line.
I am not one to give advice. A scant seam is like a pinch of seasoning. Not worth the bother for me. hehe.
