Thread: Question Please.....

I'm gonna be making a Single Irish Chain .... (tinkerbell)
Now If the big square in 6 1/2..... What will the 9 patch squares be? I was thinking 2 1/2, but I figured I'd better ask before I started cutting..
Thanks for any help

If you are cutting the big square @ 6 1/2" to finish at 6", then yes you are correct, the small squares should be cut 2 1/2" to lay 3 wide x 3 long & end up @ 6 1/2" as well as the big square. Hope that isn't more confusing. I am trying to say you have it correct.

It sounds like it will be so cute. Good Luck.

Yep, Bev. You are correct. Can't wait to see it.

Yes, but many show to do it by strips. I can NOT for the life of me do it that way. When I do it the old fashion way they come out just right. That's why I asked dearheart :D
