My problem is the center square, I cut the solid square at 3 1/2 but can't seem to get the corner squares correct they are either too small or too big! I tried 2 in rather than 2.5 and it is close but corners cut off. 1.5 is really too small. Any suggestions?
Thanks Mary
If your center square is cut at 3 1/2" then the
finished size is 3". To find the size of the corners
divide the finished size by 2. You will get
1 1/2 finished size, then
add 1/2" for seams ,so your little corner squares should be
cut at 2" each. Hope this helps.
