I've gotten pretty good at 1/4" seams, but I gotta say...I make my quilts to be used by my grandkids...I worry about 1/4" seams...I think I want to use 1/2" seams to keep them from fraying while washing, or wrestling around with them in bed..so if I do that I need to increase the size of each block by what? half inch? inch?
