cat, what if you rotate the blocks. that's what I did.
Klaws once it's all together, it will look beautiful. scrap quilts have that way about them. then again, you could always donate. I like to have one or two on hand ...just incase. |

I like quilts that have a square in a square in a square. I think this will be another favourite.
I've been saving my medium brights. Is this the time to use them or should I keep them for next week's step? |

I pressed my four-patches in the "whirly" method... where all seams are clockwise, and you get a nice flat little fourpatch on the inside where they intersect. So it's the same no matter which way you rotate it.

I've hit a couple of snags ... just wondering if anyone else has had these problems.
2) after sewing these together, my blocks are coming out closer to 8 3/4 . I'm going to trim them to 8 5/8. Hope I don't lose too many points. Are these seams all pressed to the outside? Edited to add: I would rather my block be larger than to lose all my points. |
Judy, my 4 patch with triangles are ending up at 9". Will that be a problem. Will the 7 1/2" squares still work? Not sure what I did differently but mine are coming out that size and I did follow the instructions and trimmed to the proper size.

The answer is YES! Because I cut everything a bit big and forgot to trim down. I'm just going to let mine be bigger (right at 9") and I'm thinking my block will end up closer to 13" and I will just have to adjust the next step to accommodate the larger block. Nothing I haven't had to do before...

oh oh I got a problem, i'm coming in at 9 -to 9 3/4" whoops, what did I do wrong,. i'm in trouble!!!
|
FYI - using the 7-1/2" squares for the large triangles worked nicely on my 9" block, resulting in an almost perfect 13" square. (As perfect as I ever get. Lol!)
|
My 4patches and triangles are also 9"square............
