Thanks Linda, so your saying if I cut 48 10" blocks and sew them together and put a 6" border around the blocks then recut using the twister tool for 10" blocks, sew together, add a 2" inner border and a 5" outer border, I should end up with a 48x60" quilt, I'm going to try and make a baby quilt and I don't want to start cutting until I'm sure about this.
