I am trying to make a quilt various blocks. I have a pattern of sorts that I am following and it has instructions for blocks that are 6 and 1/2 square when they are done. If I wanted to substitute a different block from the quilter's cache, will their blocks be listed as 6 inches but are really 6 1/2 before they are sewn into a quilt?
I hope that question made sense... :roll: |
most blocks will show the "unfinished" size - so 6-1/2" is the unfinished size and after quilting it with 1/4" seam allowance the finished size will be 6".

A 6 inch finished block should 6 1/2 inch before putting the quilt together.

For clarification, perhaps let us see which block you are wanting to use.
