Is it listed anywhere, the fabric requirements and final sizes of quilts?
The easiest way to figure out those figures is to make a sample and measure it. A preliminary guess as to finished size of the beginning altered four patch is: each four patch should finish at 3.5" - - 3" when sewn into a center of anything. Each seam = .5" - - looking across the sewn block, there are three seams (1.5 + .5" on either side) from 10" (2-5" squares sewn side by side) so, my guess was off - - it would be 10"-2" 0r 8" finished size. <wave>
