I think that is a very GOOD question...I was thinking the same thing. |

You still sew it the same way you would for the 5 inch block. The center will just be a little larger. Press it flat - like you would the smaller block. When you put in the 'window' piece, and fold the background block edges, I would sugest that those be machine stitched. That will secure the entire piece. I will do one tonight and post the pics.
Blast these double posts. Those October Gremlins sure are BUSY!!!! |

It should look just like the first pic posted from dgreenan.

I made this quilt using 10" squares and stitched the tops down. However, I found if I didn't pull the center square tight enough it didn't lay right. Putting in the additional center square in alternate rows covered more area and gives it a totally different look, which is my favorite out of the examples shown in the book.
