Assuming they're supposed to be 4½" finished, take a ruler and measure that width in the center of the square. What's left over on each side will be the seam allowance with pinked edges. From that you'll get an idea of what you're aiming for. Make sense?
I am trying to work with a pinked charm pack and in order to have a 4-1/2" finished block, I sometimes need to make almost a 1/8" seam. Is that too small? I'm concerned about raveling. Anyone can answer this. I used ghostrider's quote because she explained it. Thanks in advance for all opinions.
