    Thank you so much for the tutorial. I am new at quilting, and looking for every "class" I can find.

    okay ... the finished size will be 4" because!
    first seam on both sides takes the 5" down to 4.5" ... then you cut in half
    turn the two pieces face to face, but a quarter turn, so that you are sewing across the previous seam ... cut apart - -at which point, both four patches are 4.5" square.
    Then, when you stitch the four patch into a block or quilt, you take a quarter inch seam allowance all around and now the piece is 4" square - - I was wrong about the 4.5"
    This is a GREAT technique. Thank you again for the tutorial! <wave>

    Well, that turned out quite nicely!
    That buttery yellow seems to really add some bright and richness to your quilt that plain old white just can't do, eh?
    I am so glad that you posted your quilt picture. It makes the whole tutorial come to life, doesn't it? <wave>

    Thanks, Omak for the kind words. For me this was a "big" project. I usually do wall hangings and table runners. This tutorial just inspired me.

    I am sure that the original poster of the thread will be tickled pink to know that she made such a good difference in someone else's life. Good for you!<wave>
