I have a panel to complete and wanted to make these for the border. I want to be sure it finishes at 6 inches when completely sewn in so I know I will need the 1/4" seam added to it. Thanks so much to anyone who can figure this out and help me with this project. Hope everyone is having a good Saturday. Heading out to run errands so I'll check back in late this afternoon.

9 patch--------each square should be 2.5 and for the 4 patch each square should be 3.5
