If you are thinking of joining a swap, as a new quilter, this would be a good one for you. The pattern is very easy. Just follow the directions and do it one step at a time and you will be fine.
NO Question is stupid, please feel free to ask anytime. someone on here will be more than willing to help you understand and become a better quilter. Remember we were all new quilters at one time. Some of us it was 50 yrs ago and some of us it was 50 days ago. Continue to ask the questions and it will save you alot of "unsewing" or better known as the froggy cry "rippit". We all understand and have been in your position. To answer your question, a scant 1/4 is just less than a 1/4". An example would be if you draw a line on your fabric to mark your 1/4 to stitch on, then sew just on the outside of that line. That will give you your scant 1/4. Hope this helps.
