Block math help needed
Hello--So I was watching a video tutorial (or whatever they are called) from Missouri Star Quilt Co, yesterday that had the quilting marine Mark featured. They were making a crumb block center that they made into a star. The crumb block center was cut at 8.5 inches square. Then Misty took 2- 10 inch blocks and created the 8 outer sections on the star. It seemed easy enough: sew on opposite sides of diagonal lines- then cut block into 8 sections--but here is the math question. I have a bunch of already made 6.5 inch crumb blocks. Would I then use 2-8 inch blocks for the star "lights" I think she called them???
(I am new to quilting, so this type of sizing isn't clear yet).
