Ahhhhh, the lightbulb is glowing now- it does get dim, but I just reread the posts and it gets brighter...
Madquilter, thank you for the the verbal image of sewing the rectangles to the top then to a side- coupled with explanations and even concrete drawings, provided by other members, I am able to grasp why we only lose 1/2" compared to the 1" I thought we should lose.
I can not thank each one of you, for I didn't write down all the names who posted, for your contributions and helpfullness- I greatly appreciate it. I appreciate the diagrams, the logical/mathematical explanations, the nods of agreements of those who feel the same why as I do (it sure feels good that I'm not the only one in the boat). Now, I know why I open this message board first....
wishing y'all peace,
Deb
