I have started the 12 inch block but the four patch is 1/2 inch or more too big. I did not read where these were suppose to be cut down. The instructions say to cut 2 1/2 X 30 strips of both colors then cut in half, which makes a strip 15 inches....then to cut the five four-patches. Was I suppose to cut at 2 1/2 inches and have some left over or do I just cut four batch down to size? Did I miss something? I have studied this book carefully but I am a new quilter so I may not have understood. Any help would be welcomed.
