Brain Fog...Mathamatically am I OK changing these directions?
Directions tell me to cut 142 light, and 142 dark 3-7/8" squares. Put them right sides together and then cut in half diagonally, then sew them together using a 1/4 seam allowance. Can I just sew them together, 1/4" on either side of the diagonal, then cut apart? The next step is to cut 1152 2" squares and sew 4 x 4 rows to make a 16 patch. Why not sew four long, two inch wide strips together, then cut at two inch intervals and sew randomly together for the 16 patch? I'm thinking it will all come out the same, but am I missing something basic??
