For the math whizzes out there....question??
I want to make two pinwheel blocks or two four-patch blocks to finish at the size of a block in my quilt panel which is 8 and 1/4" square. The panel block will not be cut or sewn so it will be 8 and 1/4" always. Any idea how large to cut my squares to match two pinwheels OR two 4 patches with the block in the panel??? If I knew how to draw a pic on here I would to explain myself better. I hope someone can help me out here. I have had this fabric for a month to make a baby quilt which I thought would be easy and I haven't made the first cut!! Scares me to death! It is expensive fabric which I know the new mom will love but I am so scared of messing it up. Thanks to all who want to plunge in here with some help!! I know there is a formula but I'm not sure of the measurement that you add. It has rained here for five days now and I really could have probably finished this thing as all I want to do is make a cute border to go on the panel. Thanks so much for all the info I glean from this board EVERY DAY! Have a good one all!
