I understand stitching scant quarters if you have cut fabric too small. I have only been taught to cut a scant quarter and to do so on all fabric, not fat quarters, or jelly rolls etc. The person from the Extension office that teaches 4-H kids quilting had them cut scant quarters also. Is this a regional thing? Is it just a habit passed down here and it has always been done. I am going to ask a few quilters from the area about it. I do know a couple who say they never do it. I asked because trimming and matching is such an important part of putting blocks together, sometimes I have difficulty with it.
