I tried these out yesterday. My center cut was not exactly 1/3, but it was 2 1/4" -easy to see on the ruler and close enough- and it fit together fine. But in the process, I forgot to turn the center block which ended up making these flower things, which I like, too.
I think part of Jenny's charm is that she IS very loose about everything, but as a result, she sometimes doesn't address ' things quilters should do' like pressing, not ironing, especially with those bias edges, and starting out with pieces that fit, not just throwing it together and take "whatever" for a seam allowance. Yes, if you know what you're doing and how things should turn out - fine. But if you're just learning, and want accurate directions....
