OK, I am out of the closet, but still in the dark. When I say my round will be 6" when finished, I meant when the next round is attached to it, so it is 6.25 unfinished (clear as mud?). Now I understand the reasoning behind the sizes, thanks Brat! I just wasn't thinking about what it meant when choosing patterns. I kind of decide on the pattern then move the math around until either it fits or becomes something else.
