Just thought I would share some new information with you.

After I got home, I made a test block using the tradition 10 minute block method to see what a full size window block required. Here's what I found out. First determine what you want your finished block size to be. In this case 7", you will then need 4 blocks to be 4" (or 1/2 of the 7" plus a 1/2", so that when they are sewn using the 10MB construction method, it will give you the starting 7 1/2" to finish at 7"); 1 block needs to be 7 1/2" when sewn using the 10MB construction method, it will finish at 7", and one block for the center window square at 4 1/2". I measured the finished inner square which was 5" and cut the window square a 1/2" smaller to reduce bulk. When completely finished I had an attractive block if I do say so.


For a traditional 10 minute block cathedral window style my test blocks were
4) 4” blocks
1) 7.5 (7 1/2") block
1) 4.5” (4 1/2") block for the center window


I am going to have to make a quilt using thing technique now; I love how quickly it went together.

Here's a pdf of the 10MB Variation On-Point that I tried to upload in the tutorials as well.
