Question about size
I am doing a quilt off the Sunlight and Shadows ..It calls for squares cut 3 1/2 and 3 7/8 s..U then have to cut the 3 7/8's on the diagonal to mix 2 colors .Then u connect the smaller square to it..They then say u will have to trim the bigger one..Which u do on 2 sides..This messes u up in more than one way..Unless u really watch every thing...Why can't I just cut it smaller by 2/8's ..Which is what I usually have to cut off on 2 sides..I know it has to be larger to cut the diagonal..But I think ..If I cut it 3 7/7 or 3 6/8's ..Would that work?..There are many points and seams to this pattern .That have to be matched.And this extra can throw it off .. I could do the diagonal pieces then trim them to 3 1/2...But again this just makes more cutting and slows the sewing down...Thanks for any help
