How come they say your sew piece should be 4.25" instead of 4.5"?
Math is not always my friend!

You are correct. They made a mistake. But you can make these out of any width strips. Just make sure you measure.
Thank you burnsk for your help! It's greatly appreciated!
Thank you butterflywing for your help too! Yes, the blocks can turn out to be very interesting looking if you guys experiment a little with it.
Everybody have fun with this great technique!!
