Odd is right. This is the size that the pieced square should be so I can then add it to the rest of the block. This person is in love with the 4 1/8 inch thing. My theory is that she doesn't even know what it is because her sample blocks never measure to what the directions say. GRRRR

My second theory is she uses this measurement so that no one can actually square their blocks accurately (you need a 1/16 and 1/32 mark for some of them) so if they don't work she blames you.

Last time I asked for squaring information she told me it should come out to whatever. She LIKES wonky blocks. This is one of the reasons I will never take a class from this particular place even though it is close to home.
