Size of quilt block
I am not normally following patterns but making up my own, so I don't think I've ever paid attention to this as it never really mattered... But now I want to include a block from a pattern into a quilt I'm currently designing and I'm suddenly not sure of the following:
When saying that an instruction gives an e.g. 8" block, does that mean the finished block in a quilt will be 8" or will it be 8" minus the seam allowances (i.e. 7.5")?
