Starch will help tame the triangle bias.

What a great group quilters are. So many helpful suggestions. Even though I might not be making a particular pattern I always learn something from all of you.

Actually, this is almost always my solution. I love drafting mine to size!!!

Hey Dianne! Would appreciate that I'm trying everything that everyone here has suggested - I figure that I'll get it right from at least one!

Those are such good helps. Lyndy H when I open your EQs the A section does not appear. Do you know if I'm doing something wrong? Thanks.

Print out the templates at 112%. Make a practice block. Should give you a 9" finished block.

I really dislike working with 1/16 measurement. I would just make the 8" blocks and add an extra border to get the finished size that I want.

I would cut the a and b blocks for the pattern the outside blocks a 1/4" bigger and trim the blocks to the exact size which is 9-1/2" unfinished. Great blocks. Luann
