Ach! I'm rethinking all my measurements now! And I was so careful! I think I was hoping to go for the least amount of sewing for the biggest quilt possible. Does that make sense? I was going to start with a 12" block, sew a 1" seam and then cut the fray at half an inch. That's....not right, is it? *sigh* I thought that would leave me with 9" blocks, but it doesn't. What if I did 12" blocks, a 1/2 inch or 3/4" seam (taking them down to 11" like ckcowl said) and then clip?
One other question....to wash or not to wash? Sounds like I should wash the flannel? Still confused about this, as I hear that it's easier to cut when it's not washed, but then it shrinks once it dries.
So sorry for all the questions....I'm trying to wade through all the information! I appreciate all your help so much!
