So, I'm going to start with 72 - 10" blocks. That should give me: 7 1/2" x 9 = 67 1/2" +12" = 79 1/2" 7 1/2" x 10 = 75" + 12" = 87" 79 1/2" x 87" = BIG ENOUGH! Actually, perfect! Thanks for everyone's help. I just needed to think this through. :) |

But I still don't get the 7.5" finished if your 1st quilt top finished at 61". Wouldn't the block center portion have to be 49"x49" (which means 7x7 layout at 7" finished) + 6" border = 61". It's not important but those little things drive me crazy. I'm not exactly sure about the 61" x 61". That's what the pattern said it was supposed to be. I hadn't had it done yet, so I didn't know for sure. The ruler is 8". So, yeah...I don't know. I'm just know that I'm going to do 8 x 9! Thanks again! |
Okay, I need some aspirin!
