okay ... I keep coming back! <g>
Have a question ... those blocks aren't actually HST with a frame ... they look to me as though they are squares with a frame around it, cut in half and then rearranged and sewn back together again ...
If you were to create those blocks with this technique, would you add 7/8 inch to each part of the square, or just to the final measurement of the square you want it to be?
as in:
I want the whole thing to finish at twelve inches, so I would cut the first square at 9 and 7/8 inches, add the 3.5 strips around, then cut in half?
(do you know how many quilts I have made from just this type of thread??? LOL)
what do you think, Miss Bobbin ... would that work? <wave>
