And it seems some quilt patterns don't assume anything, not even the quarter inch seams you need to sew the pieces after they are cut.
I did one recently that had panels that were so close together there was barely a seam allowance at all, much less a quarter inch between the pictures on the panel. I decided I had to do something because the quilt would be washed a lot, so I ironed thin interfacing on the backs of each block before I stitched them to the borders that were required. Meantime, I am keeping my fingers crossed that the cloth will not ravel.
