but none starts with a 6.5 inch piece.
Is there some kind of ‘resizing ‘ site or formula to take a block that uses 5 inch squares to 6.5 ?
Thanks again... I’ll post my progress..
Sometimes you just need to do your own math and re-size things.
One way is to draw it out on graph paper, the way you want it to look.
Then you have the measurements for each piece ...... but will need to add on the seam allowances.
For a simpler block, like the square in a square, you could probably do it without the graph paper, but if you are not confident, the graph paper will help you get the right amounts, and maybe even, avoid wasting fabric.
