Why a scant 1/4 seam?
Our quilt club had someone come in this weekend and teach us how to do a bargello. We did a table topper from one of Eileen Wrights books and the directions said to do a scant 1/4 seam. I know that you need to do this on some blocks to make them come out to the right size, but why on a bargello? If you did a true quarter wouldn't it still come out the same?
