Am I being crazy? Even when I do that they always look wonky. I'm using a scant 1/4" so I can have a little to cut off and square them.
I don't seem to like any blocks where you have to place the wide end of a triangle across a square and the edges overlap. I'm never sure whether they are perfectly centered.
Does anyone have any ideas other than cutting the pieces bigger and cutting them down, because the fabrics were cut to size called for in the instructions?
Thanks guys.
I only paper piece my square in a squares. That makes them perfect. I try to NEVER sew triangles, no matter what. Too many problems with bias. I would rather waste some fabric than worry about bias and stretching. Paper piecing is SO much easier, and like I said, results in perfect blocks.
