making a 12"block into a 12 1/2" block
#13
who are your connections, ey Ms. Grace? You're partially right about the bear paw, but I also want to make the jacobs ladder & on the oregon trail.
The swap I'm doing this for calls for 12 1/2" unfinished blocks. That is why I'm asking.

Jacob's ladder
Bear's Paw
On the Oregon Trail from quilterscache
I want to make these blocks for the swaps. The swaps I'm thinking of calls for 12 1/2" unfinished.
thanks, turtlerouge

To make a 12 1/2" block you need to cut your material 4 1/2".
This will be unfinished block and when sewn with the rest of your blocks will than measure 12". You should use an accurate quarter inch seam. Take a ruler with a quarter inch measurement place it under your needle in your machine and mark where the quarter inch is from the needle. You can either use a quarter inch foot that you can buy genetic which should be cheaper than your normal quarter inch foot for your machine. If you are limited in funds just place a tape like masking tape for quarter inch measurement.
Remember usually the 12 1/2" block goes together as a nine patch.
