Hey go for it! I don't have copyright

The only time I had an issue was trying to join two 2-patches together with the paper still on - I had to remove the centre paper so I could nest the seams properly.

I did, tho, make sure to use a wide-ish strip across the centre line, so that when I came to cut into quarters the cross-point didn't fall onto a seam.

The other short-cut I did was place two large squares together face to face (check which way your strips run lol) and draw the cutting lines on the paper. Then I sewed 1/4 inch either side of one line before cutting apart. That yields two 2-patches straight away, without any messing!!!

Looking forward to seeing your strings

Oh, and Judy, there's nothing in there big enough to make a 1" hexie out of ... he he
