it looks like we crossed messages there. on all of the pattern pieces, it shows the measurement to cut, such as the hst and the 9-square. i'm assuming that we have to add 1/4" to all the edges for each piece except the paper pieced diamond, which would only get the 1/4" on the outside edge.

have i got that right? the drawings don't include seam allowances, do they?

did i explain that right?


okay...the cutting lines include the seam allowance. the foundation diamond
gets the extra 1/4" added to the drawing, as shown by the dotted lines.

please bear with me here. what size should the diamond be? the other pieces show the cutting size, but i don't see a size diagram for the strips that make up the large diamond. when i print it out, will that be the correct size that fits in with the other shown sizes? as i said, i don't know EQ at all. it feels like it would print too small for the rest of the pieces. but i've been known to be wrong before.
