O.K., I'm thoroughly confused. I finally collected all my
fabric that I had to order from several places, and got ready to do all the foundation blocks to get caught up. However,
I'm stuck on the 4 patch.
My confusion is not in the 4 patch itself, because I can
make those in my sleep. But, the picture she shows on
page 29 for a 4 patch foundation block is a 16 patch.
I looked back at all the finished blocks people have
posted and most have done a regular 4 patch, as per
her instructions for how to make a 4 patch (which really gives you two 4 patches) but I noticed Deecee and Laura
had the 16 patch like the colored picture on page 29.
First of all, how do you get her method to yield a
16 patch, 6 1/2 block? If all the squares were cut
1 1/2" it would finish to 6 1/2", but her instructions
for making a 4 patch has the completed 4 patch ending
up to be a 6 1/2" block, which means the squares are
3 1/2" each. Could someone please clarify this for me
and also for those that ended up with a 6 1/2" 16 patch,
tell me how you did it?
Also, when making the actual blocks, do you need a
regular 4 patch like her instructions tell you to make,
or do you need a 16 patch like the picture on page 29 shows? Thanks so much.
