Finally found your post Thanks for the reply.I can see what you mean & think you are right.Easier to keep measurement closer,when using same blocks. Hadn't thought of that.

when I sew a quilt block like this one together I sew 4 hsts into a 4 patch and then sew the 4 patches together. If you use a dif method for the center your 4 patches may not be the same size.
but it is up to you as to what you find easier to do. there really isn't any wrong way to do it. Just what you prefer.
